Details

Add authentic mid-century Italian cold-chain freight to your layout with the Rivarossi HR6712 refrigerated wagon, a finely detailed H0 gauge (1:87) model representing a 2-axle FS type Hgb insulated wagon in striking metallic silver “San Pellegrino” advertising livery.

This wagon reflects Era III (1940s–1960s) operations, when railways were essential for transporting temperature-sensitive goods such as mineral water, beverages, and food products across Italy. The bold San Pellegrino branding is a classic example of how refrigerated wagons were used as moving advertising platforms, combining freight functionality with commercial branding across European rail networks.

With its compact insulated body and prototypical FS detailing, this model is ideal for building realistic Italian goods trains, beverage distribution services, or mixed Era III freight consists.
