Vintage Athearn "Trains in Miniature" HO Scale Baby Ruth 40' Wood-Side Ice Bunker Reefer — Kit #5201, Assembled

This is a vintage Athearn HO scale model train kit (#5201, "40 FT WD Reefer — Baby Ruth," originally priced $3.00 per the box label) that has been fully assembled by a previous builder. The car is a Steel & Wood 40' Ice Bunker Reefer done up in the classic Baby Ruth billboard-reefer paint scheme — orange/red body with gold lettering, black roof, roofwalk, and underframe detail.

Condition highlights:

• Assembled from the kit and looks flawless in person — no visible cracks, breaks, or missing parts

• Ice hatches and latches on the roof are fully functional and open/close smoothly ("flaps all work")

• Brake wheel, roofwalk, coupler, cover plate, and Bettendorf trucks all present and intact

• Comes with the original vintage box (shows some age wear/shelf wear typical of a vintage box, see photos) and the original printed assembly instruction sheet for the Steel & Wood 40' Ice Bunker Reefer kit

• A great addition to any HO scale freight car roster or vintage Athearn/billboard-reefer collection

This is a wonderful piece for HO scale model railroaders, vintage train collectors, or anyone building a period-correct freight consist. Please review all photos closely, as they are part of the description — ask any questions before bidding/buying.
