Here we have a model of a later GB&W/Western Refrigerator Line reefer car. This car was built using part of a Walthers Kit as well as other detail parts from Selley Custom Finishes, Cal-Scale, Keil Line, and other part sources. It has a complete brake system as well as air hoses, cut levers, and corner anchors for the wood ends.
These wooden refrigerator cars were used by the GB&W for many years well into the 1970's to ship cherries, potatoes, and finished dairy products such as cheese and whey. They were frequently seen around Green Bay at the Frigo and Woody cheese houses. This car will operate on my 3-rail Proto Hi-Rail layout. Hope you like the car and have a Happy Holiday Season from all of us at the Wisconsin - Michigan Lines O scale family.

Very nice!
