Tenth Anniversary release of Borden's Fine Cheeses Reefer. Now upgraded to use indexed meshes, featuring improved bogies, added cheese and mile loading capability, and more eras added. Original narrative is as follows: This is a 40 foot billboard steel ice-loaded reefer (Refrigerator Car) circa mid-1930s, also known as a Diary Car. These once represented progressive technology over wooden reefers: a) Corrugated steel ends dramatically improved structural reliability with shifting loads and ice dumps; b) greater environmental longevity than wooden construction; and c) an elaborate mobile full-length billboard marketing tool was available to the owner or advertiser. The only drawback was the steel better conducted heat into the car whereas wood was a better insulator. Ice reefers remain superior to their contemporaries with respect to their ability to immediately load 'warm sun-heated produce' without requiring a cool-down period. The facade of this model was scanned from a 1959 Mantua/Tyco HO scale car which actually has a steel billboard overlay on plastic. This model version unfortunately uses a box car template, and therefore does not depict roof ice doors.
