ABSTRACT:
In a model railway system it is desirable to include cars which simulate refrigerator cars. Model railway refrigerator cars are not, of course, furnished with ice or other means of actual refrigeration, but they should resemble actual cars which are so furnished, under actual operating conditions. To this end, the roof of each model railway refrigerator car is provided, according to the present invention, with a hatch at each end of the roof, a tiltable cover for each hatch, a retaining means for keeping the cover open, and an alternative retaining means for keeping the cover closed. The present invention has to do with a very simple and economical association of roof and cover and for providing interchangeable latches that hold the cover in open and closed condition, respectively.
