Details

Add iconic Italian cold-chain freight to your layout with the Rivarossi HR6711 refrigerated wagon, a finely detailed H0 gauge (1:87) model representing a 2-axle FS type Hgb refrigerated wagon in striking metallic silver “Gelati Motta” advertising livery.

Designed for Era III (1940s–1960s), this wagon reflects a time when railways played a crucial role in transporting temperature-sensitive goods such as ice cream, food products, and beverages across Italy. The bold “Gelati Motta” branding is historically accurate, as refrigerated wagons were commonly used as mobile advertising platforms for major food producers, adding both realism and visual appeal to freight trains.

Constructed with a metal body and fine detailing, the model captures the compact proportions and insulated design typical of early refrigerated rolling stock, making it ideal for authentic Italian branch line goods trains or mixed European consists.
