This was the second class of reefers purchased by the D&RGW. These cars had a capacity of 12 tons, and were designed to be moved from narrow gauge to standard gauge trucks at Ogden, UT. They were ultimately used full time on standard gauge line, and all were phased out by 1914. While in narrow gauge service, they carried the "billboard" lettering used on our model.

To complement our new Legend Series of 2 1/2" scale locomotives, RMI now offers a line 3' narrow gauge freight cars and cabooses. Our boxcars, reefers, and stock cars feature steel bases, steel internal body bracing, laser cut marine plywood substructures, and newly developed, custom milled, hardwood timbers and tongue & groove planking.

All doors have a steel core to minimize warping and are suspended from ball-bearing rollers. The highly ornate lettering and hardware found on turn-of-the-century (20th that is) rolling stock are faithfully reproduced.

All cars have removable tops and can have optional fold down seats. Combine these new offerings with our broad range of flats and gondolas and our 5 very popular caboose models, and you can assemble many truly impressive narrow gauge trains.
