has commissioned
Accurail to produce
several versions of
MDT class M4 wood
reefer cars. The wood
sides and ends, fish-
belly underframes,
four-foot door openings with three hinges, wooden door rests,
Murphy XLA metal roofs, and AB brakes, combine to effectively
represent 1920s construction as altered by post-1936 rebuilding.
The yellow models are appropriate for 1943 though about 1952
while the yellow-orange versions represent equipment from
a later period. Reservations are being taken now for HO scale
kits scheduled for delivery in early March. The kits are priced
at $20.00 for NYCSHS members or $25.00 to non-members.
Additional details are available on the above website.
