Page 1 Rapido is pleased to announce the second production run of our HO scale General American 37’ meat refrigerator car with 12 all-new paint schemes! The Rapido HO scale wood reefer is based on a design built between 1937 and 1941 by General American Transportation (GARX). Although built with a wooden sheathed body and roof that made them look like a car from an earlier era, these GARX cars were modern for their time. They were constructed on a steel underframe of similar construction to boxcar underframes then in common use and featured AB brakes, Equipco brake wheels and housings and Barber S-1 trucks. More than 940 cars were built to this configuration making it one of the most numerous meat reefer designs, and they lasted in service well into the early 1970’s. They would normally be assigned to meat service only, running between meat packing houses and regional dealers throughout North America, Including Canada. Many people missed the first run of these highly-detailed freight cars because they sold out so quickly. The second run is sure to do the same. Reserve yours now! HO SCALE GENERAL AMERICAN 37’ MEAT REEFER Seond Run! All-new Schemes! Completely Assembled! Accurately Decorated! Multiple Car Numbers! HO GARX Meat Reefer Second Run!

    The Rapido HO scale wood reefer is based on a design built between 1937 and 1941 by General American Transportation (GARX). Although built with a wooden sheathed body and roof that made them look like a car from an earlier era, these GARX cars were modern for their time. They were constructed on a steel underframe of similar construction to boxcar underframes then in common use and featured AB brakes, Equipco brake wheels and housings and Barber S-1 trucks. More than 940 cars were built to this configuration making it one of the most numerous meat reefer designs, and they lasted in service well into the early 1970’s. They would normally be assigned to meat service only, running between meat packing houses and regional dealers throughout North America, Including Canada.

    Many people missed the first run of these highly-detailed freight cars because they sold out so quickly. The second run is sure to do the same. Reserve yours now!
