IT IS HERE! Your dreams are true! And it can be yours now in kit form, and soon in fully assembled!

Officially released at the Missouri Pacific Historical Society annual meet October 5 in Little Rock, Arkansas, the ART Horizontal Rib Reefer is now available for immediate kit shipping! The fully assembled cars will be available within weeks due to some revamping of the details so that these cars will be PERFECT, too!

You have been waiting for this! Dreaming of this! Now, it is a reality! The Amarillo Railroad Museum, Inc. has joined forces with the Missouri Pacific Historical Society to produce the very first truly ACCURATE American Refrigerator Transit Company (ART) horizontal rib reefer!

You must own this car - and you can now! Literally thousands of these cars coursed the railroads of America loaded with fruits and vegetables for the hungry folks at home. This car features the correct roof, correct hatches, unique horizontal rib and rivets, correct ends, historically accurate paint schemes, correct trucks - the whole enchilada! You know it is right - InterMountain is making this car to the ARM's precise specifications - and you know how we research our models to ensure the best, most accurate cars available today, period! This car is one of the ARM's and MPHS's finest productions ever!

You have a chance to own this bit of history now! You can order your string of eight pre-assembled reefers right now to ensure that your model empire will have these terrific cars to haul those loads to your hungry HO scale families! If that is not enough, we have un-numbered kits - you can have as many ART reefers as you need to make up your hot consists! We expect this car to sell as well as our 1949 PFE reefer, so order early to ensure you get yours!

Our first run is the "as-delivered" scheme pictured in the black and white photo above. There are pre-assembled and kit versions. The pre-assembled cars come with a choice of eight road numbers.  The kits come without road numbers, but a decals set from Oddball's Decals allow you the modeler to add whatever number you desire!

And don't forget - ARM and MPHS members get a 10% discount! Why not join the Amarillo Railroad Museum as an Internet member today and actually SAVE MONEY!

Don't delay your orders - there are at this time fewer than 600 cars available, and they will sell fast! We expect to start shipping pre-ordered cars within days, so get your order now and make sure you get your railroad complete with this great refrigerated boxcar!

NOTE! Assembled cars will be shipped immediately upon arrival at the ARM Depot! You can order now, assuring your place in line, but THERE IS NO PROMISED DELIVERY DATE! While we would love to have these cars available for Christmas, there is NO PROMISED DELIVERY DATE! Kits are available now with the correct trucks, detail sprues, etc., but the assembled cars have been returned to InterMountain for re-detailing. Hence, there is NO PROMISED DELIVERY DATE! However, we will not charge your credit card for your cars until they are ready, so please feel free to order now to assure you will receive your single, four car, or eight car set of these great ART Horizontal Rib Reefers assembled and ready to go!
