Built on the same underframe as the B-50-1/2/4 box car, these reefers were the first 6,600
installed on the newly formed PFE. The classes were distinguished only by externally invisible
differences in ice bunkers. Delivered before the Safety Appliances act, the cars were upgraded in
the early 'teens with ladder grabs on the ends and sheathing bolts on the sides. Cars used in
express service were painted green with gold lettering.
Kit 1801 features the as-delivered and 1909 lettering styles, carrying the cars up to about 1917
when all would have been modernized and repainted. Unlike previous versions of the kits it
models the pre-safety appliance version only but adds much more detail such as positionable
hatches, drains and correct brake rigging.
