The St. Louis Refrigerator Car Company (SLRX) was a private refrigerator car line established on February 3, 1878, by Anheuser-Busch brewing company. SLRX was formed to facilitate large-scale distribution of Anheuser-Busch's products via the U.S. rail network. The SLRX not only built its own bunkerless reefers, but maintained and operated them as well.
In 1919 the firm was acquired by Manufacturers Railway Company (MRS), another Anheuser-Busch transportation subsidiary that provided switching service to the brewery and interchange connection with the common carrier railroads serving St. Louis.
Cale's design faithfully recreates this Iconic car of the St Louis Car Company. This 36ft bunkerless refrigerator car was used from 1913 through to 1950s. Our model represents this car in its post World War II scheme with white cars sides, an enlarged emblem, and a maroon stripe along the bottom of the car side.
This printed part set will complete one car in the special Liberty Bonds paint scheme used during World War One.
The parts are genuine, new parts, printed by BrickForge and are an excellent upgrade for your NMRA 2022 SLRX car.
This limited Edition Printed Part Set comes with an individualized car number. No two sets will have the same car number, allowing you to build a fleet of cars and not reuse numbers.
