URTX reefers (was: reefer pix)

Great photos!
There is one photo at the link below which shows a prototype which is very similar to the Walthers horizontal belt steel reefers. http://www.geocities.com/oldlahistory/urtx37151.jpg Now, I purchased an Intermountain R-40-23 kit, lettered for URTX and numbered 37193. I impulse bought it, assuming that it was correctly lettered; my understanding was that Intermountain only did prototype paint schemes. Did URTX have both the Walthers AND the Intermountain style cars in the 37XXX series? Since they are both steel, swing door, iced reefers, there wouldn't be a distinction in the ORER. I would take IM's word for it that the scheme is prototypical for this style of reefer, except that I had to sand the B&O "overnight" lettering off of an IM PS-1 that I also bought on impulse. Thanks in advance, Phil Buchwald --- In STMFC@yahoogroups.com, "Clark Propst" <cepropst@n...> wrote: can't wait.
