Anyone know of an express reefer?

[Matt996]

Express reefers were common head-end cars, particularly on mail trains. I haven't been able to find any on the DLS... anybody know if any are available and I'm just not using the right search string?

Search for "Railway Express" turns up 3 reefers used on passenger trains.

The OP may have been referring to something more like this.

The ones on the DLS are reskins, good ones, but of more modern 50 ft refrigerator cars. I know of none available for Trainz.

That's exactly what I'm after, thanks!

The recommended search turns up some British stuff and a billboard.

I'll try doing a reskin of a 50-foot boxcar, but I'm not very good at Trainz content so...

Hi Matt,

I may have expressed myself badly. I didn't mean to imply that the modern 50 ft reefers are not available. There are two of the reskinned 50 ft reefers on the DLS that you can find by searching "Railway Express" under "titles" with all boxes checked and the "Rolling Stock" filter set.

Just in case anyone might feel inclined to build Trainz model of an express reefer common to the steam era, I thought I'd suggest a couple:

PRR R50 express reefer:

Diagrams available here and here.


Northern Pacific express car:

Elevation drawings available here.
