1970年代にユーゴスラビアからAHMが輸入し、1982年以降はIHCとModel Powerへ引き継がれた（Tony Cook氏のウエブサイト）。

Edwardsutorik, Cyclopedia? there was!! This is the 1974 edition of Car and Locomotive Cyclopedia. Click to enlarge


I looked at each magazine page found using the Railroad Magazine Index. A photo was found. Page 29 of the Jan. 1991 issue, Model Railroading Magazine. The fuel tank and crossover platform are unclear. Please more information.

2024-02-09 John H. White著，1986年刊"The Great Yellow Fleet -A History fo American Railroad Refrigerator Cars"を入手した．その116頁にモデルにそっくりなリーファーの写真があった．屋根上には歩み板を備え，リポーティングマークは"MART."である．このMARTは，"American Refrigerator Transit Co.: added 4/1960; 4/1961-10/1966; eliminated 10/1969"とのことなので，時代的に合致する（Ian Cranstoneの調査による）．
次はModel Powerの広告でMR誌1982年7月号に掲載された．前身のモデルはAHMがユーゴスラビアのMehanoから1970年代に輸入したというので，なにか資料があるのだろう．

I acquired "The Great Yellow Fleet -A History for American Railroad Refrigerator Cars" by John H. White, published in 1986. On page 116 there was a photo of a reefer that looked exactly like the model. There is a roofwalk, and the reporting mark is "MART." This MART is said to be "American Refrigerator Transit Co.: added 4/1960; 4/1961-10/1966; eliminated 10/1969" (Research by Ian Cranstone), so it matches the era.
The next advertisement for Model Power was published in the July 1982 issue of MR magazine. The predecessor model is said to have been imported by AHM from Mehano in Yugoslavia in the 1970s, so there must have been some information on it.

Pemco（1980-1981?年）が同じような冷凍機を備えたHOスケール50フィートリーファーをリリースしている．側扉がレバーレス・タイプとなっていて，Tharmo-Kingの名は使っていない．＞＞Tony Cook's website
