Fruit Growers Express (yellow\/black). Sliding door box cars were basically the build standard prior to World War II. It wasn’t until after the war that many railroads experimented with the use of plug doors, similar to those used on many refrigerator cars, on their box cars. The tight seal of the plug door, accompanied by insulated sides, ends, floor and roof panels, allowed these new box cars to carry perishables where temperature control was important but refrigeration wasn’t necessary. This design, classified by the AAR (Association of American Railways) as “RB” or “RBL”, meaning bunkerless refrigerator cars, gained popularity in the mid 1950s and the following decade saw over 3,000 similar cars built for a number of different owners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed, ready-to-run model with accurate painting and printing\u003cbr\u003eLate improved Dreadnaught ends\u003cbr\u003eOverhanging diagonal panel roof with or without roofwalk as per the prototype\u003cbr\u003eStraight-side sill body design\u003cbr\u003e8\/8 panel, riveted sides\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed underframe\u003cbr\u003eSeparately-applied ladders, grab irons and latch bars\u003cbr\u003eBlackened metal wheels\u003cbr\u003eAccuMate® couplers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New (\u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"C-9: All original; unused; factory rubs and evidence of handling, shipping and factory test run.
