Description

Here is an Atlas 6906 O Scale Hillside Structure Series Ice House Kit. Atlas O now offers the perfect companion structure for its wildly successful billboard reefer series. This ice house building kit and the companion adjoining icing platform – the Atlas Model 6905.

Before mechanical refrigeration, ice was the primary method of cooling perishables. Loading blocks of ice into the rooftop hatches of solid reefer trains would be a daunting task were it not for the construction of icing platforms that brought the ice up to car height for speedier icing and re-icing of the trains. Icing platforms on the major refrigerator routes were often quite extensive – some measured 50 car lengths. The ice house was usually attached to the platforms to provide an ice supply that could be accessed quickly.

Designed for modular construction – any length can be created by combining additional platform kits, Raised platform that will accommodate two 40′ reefer cars, Lower level platform for side door loading, End ladder, Overall dimensions: 37 L x 4 W x 6 H.
