1/87 80 Ye Olde Huff-N-Puff 50' Wood Sheathed Refrigerator Car - Olde Frothingslosh Beer - HO Craftsman Kit

Wood and Metal Model Kit,   Box Condition: VG++

Very high quality wood and metal kit from the Golden Age of HO Craftsman kit. Builds a very accurate and highly detailed prototype of the 50' Wooden Reefer. Kit features pre-cut and pre-scribed hardwood sides that are factory painted and colored for 'Olde Frothingslosh' Beer, which has a unique history of its own. This beer started out in the 1950s as a fictional story on KDKA radio about 'the beer with the foam on the bottom'. DJ Rege Cordic's joke, however, grew a life of it's own. It was so popular that local breweries ask permission to bottle and label 'Old Frothingslosh' for the holidays. It was a hit, and the beer became an instant collectors item. Also includes pre-cut and milled floor and 'round' roof, other cut wood and stock as needed, metal underframes, doors, hatches, brake parts, bolsters, ladders and other metal details and more. The model has never been started. Most parts are still sealed in factory bags - those that were never sealed have been inventoried complete. Includes full size plans/instructions as well a the full story of Olde Frothingslosh Beer.
