Re: Latest run of Intermountain (Wegmann) HO PFE Rebuilt Reefers
Very astute! I ordered six now in my hold box at the dealer awaiting imminent arrival of some GP-7s. Intermountain ignores complaints about errors and foobies, so nothing changes. My last three orders

I own six R18,19 & 21 cars of their previous 'Wegmann' runs.

Re: Milk cars
That is correct Don. You are refering specifically to GPEX #803 and #804 both of which
were rebuilds of earlier wood sheathed milk tank cars. General American used a cover
