I just read Volume 2 of the Santa Fe Railway Rolling Stock Reference Series on reefers, USRA rebuilds to be specific, in preparation for building four RCW kits. The text states that Rr-35 and Rr-36 classes got Royal Type F slack adjusters,
but the text is silent on the remaining classed from Rr-39/40/45. Did these last three classed got slack adjusters or not? Kit instructions are generic for all classes. They simply say install the slack adjuster.
The second question is about slogan assignments for Rr-45 cars. The table in Appendix B stops at Rr-44. The only photo of a Rr-45 class car is 9516 with El Capitan. Slogan number assignments or photos of Rr-45 cars showing the slogan would
be helpful in selecting a road number.
