Re: Prototype for Bachmann "51 ft Mechanical Steel Reefer"?
Kurt Laughlin <fleeta@...>
Thanks Ben & Tony! It looks workable as a kitbash for the layout. The model has the lower, almost square screen on the left B end side, and a rectangular louver on the right B side. Is that correct? If not, I might just junk it and get an Athearn. Louvers are a bit much to fiddle with.
Looking at the Athearn site, it appears that they produce their model both with and without the diagonal braces next to the door.
Thanks again,
KL

And only PFE. It's entertaining that AHM offered it in Santa
Fe paint (along with several other bogus schemes, of course).
