Bachmann's original stock number series for this car was 6120-6125. The 1968 catalog includes
six roadnames (Nestle, North American, Transport Leasing, American Refrigerator Transit, Fruit Growers Express, and Western
Pacific). The retail in '68 is listed as $1.50 for the 41' Mechanical Reefer. The catalog includes an illustration of an
AHM HO-scale 41' Plug Door lettered for Transport Leasing.
Bachmann's N-scale Rolling Stock debuted in 1968 in two piece plastic cases. The case's original
design included a white base with clear top. Later, Bachmann released cars with a black base and clear lid. Both included
raised lettering that was painted gold. The Bachmann 1981 catalog shows the carded box packaging shown at left.
