I have a few of the Kline reefer cars which are some of the best made. Some also came with a banana load that was up to you to put together. You had to attach the roof rack inside the car and then put these tiny pieces of metal into the banana bunch to hang them. Also included was two ice bunkers and they even included the ice ( crushed clear plastic ) Of course once you put the roof on you can't see them. but you can open the doors. There were several other loads that Kline provided for their reefers. Anybody else put theirs together?   |

 Never had any reefers with loads but their scale reefers were as good as Atlas. When K-line went out of business they were selling as low at $15 at one point. I bought a ton of them. K-line was a leader in new things and I miss them. Their detailed F-7, passengers in passenger cars, scale Trainmaster, steam engines with great detail and great prices, and many other firsts that we take for granite now. Don

K-line was such a plus to our hobby. For the money, best passenger cars ever.

 Their steam engines, from the scale Hudson to 0-6-0 were amazing. I have everyone of them. Three Berkshires. Two pacific and one of each of the others. This is one of my favorite shots. All K-line steam engines. Don

I agree with the comments here by Brian and Don, that Kline made made some great items like Wooden reefers, steam engines,A scale Hudson for around $500 and what I consider the best scale 21" passenger cars.
Maury may not have the most pleasant person but his company made some great trains.

I have a bunch of reefers and a couple that had the bananas already hung in the car. I can’t remember if those are K-Line or Atlas O. But I also have several Intermountain reefer cars, it may be them that has the bananas.
