On December 23, 2002, Father Nature announced to the Z scale community a new line of 33’ woodside billboard reefers. Ztrack first ran photos of these cars in the January/February 2003 issue. This new body style with attractive historical advertising quickly grabbed the attention of Z scalers. John Kreider owned Father Nature, this was his first foray into Z scale rolling stock.

John’s widow, Kathleen, was in possession of the inventory including the never before released cars. Kathleen passed away at the age of 78 on July 22, 2015. As the family began the process of settling her estate after her passing, the inventory was discovered again. These cars had been stored in boxes in the basement since 2003.

Thes cars are equipped with MTL Arch bar Trucks and Couplers
