Box of the Month March 2023 - Pacific Fruit Express & More!
This month Dan & Nichole go through another box of HO scale model trains.
This time the box is all refrigerator cars from Athearn, InterMountain, and Red Caboose!
Dan has fond memories of seeing Pacific Fruit Express trains rolling over Donner Pass during his childhood. Since Dan is basing his future HO layout on Donner Pass, having a PFE train is a must.
Over the years Dan has acquired a number of refrigerator car models. These are prototype accurate cars that are decorated for both Southern Pacific Fruit Express (SPFE) and Union Pacific Fruit Express (UPFE). There are also some cars in the blue Golden West Service scheme.
Besides PFE cars, Dan also has a Burlington Northern car decorated for Western Fruit Express (BNFE), and a pair of ex-Fruit Growers Express cars, one decorated for Santa Fe and one for Union Pacific. The ex-FGE cars even have sound!
