Question about MTH Railking Tropicana 50' Double Door Boxcar #30-71097

Chessiechick - go to MTH home page, click on product locator, put Tropicana in first search bar. Have patience, (not a fast search feature). Filter results: 20- prefix is Premier, scale items; 30- prefix is Railking, not to scale items. As far as other brands, check eBay for Atlas, Weaver, Lionel, maybe K-Line.

PS - since Tropicana shipped oranges, finding a boxcar might be difficult. I hope you meant reefer (refrigerated boxcar).

One good thing about the MTH website is product URLs are the website (mthtrains.com) followed by a "/" and then the product number.

So, if you were looking for this item you could type "https://mthtrains.com/30-71097"

or, its usually one of the first links if you google the product number by itself

Many years ago Weaver offered 57 ft. Mechanical Reefers in the Tropicana scheme. They may even had sound offered. Most of the Weaver tooling went into the Lion Scale line. Not sure if they ever re ran them. A search should at least bring up some pics. and info. I believe they were pretty popular at the time and Weaver was big into multiple rd. numbers.

As Dave C stated above Weaver has 57' Mechanical Reefers in the Tropicana scheme, in a few different colors. (White, Orange, and one other color maybe a green).

Atlas O has a good option too: NOTE...link removed per OGR TOS... no links to Ebay are allowed.

In my opinion the Weaver reefer are great have quite a few of those. Also, have quite a few of the Atlas O reefer too.

I was able to snag a few weathered Weaver Tropicana reefers on eBay about a year ago.
