Insulated Box Cars
Insulated box cars are used to move commodities that need to be kept at a constant temperature. While sometimes referred to as reefers, these cars do not have any type of mechanical cooling. They are insulated all around and are usually expedited when loaded. These cars will be used to transport groceries and beer on my layout. I currently own at least one copy of every car S Scale America produced, and I am patiently waiting for more.
