I don't think that is a CP car, the 1937-38 cars had 13.5' door openings. Also had 8 rung ladders. Marc Simpson Sent from my Galaxy

This model is famous in its own right, as I recall, as one of the first models made in resin. As an O scale model, it was a good show piece, and I recall it being exhibited at Naperville in fairly

Good catch, Tim. Marc Simpson of Sylvan has produced those cars Rich Christie

CP? I dunno really - there were a number of 40 foot double door auto cars built just before WWII and then just after. -- Tim O'Connor Sterling, Massachusetts

I will have to agree with Fenton on the model, being Southern. One of my fellow club cronies and I were discussing Erie 40' double door boxcars for well over a month. The only end door 40' cars had

I still think it is a Southern car. Just say'in Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

Another possible series is ERIE 97400-97499..The attached photo isn’t included in that range. Again, the diagram’s roof looks nothing like a rectangular panel roof. Most ERIE end door cars

Well, not a BAD guess, Rich, close but no cigar, so far anyway I have a diagram of ERIE 97250-97399, a 40 tone double door box with end doors, but the roof drawing doesn’t look like a rectangular

It doesn’t show up on the current F&C site so I don’t know. Heck, it may have been from when F&C was making kits for sunshine. I wasn’t into resin then, as a teen it was tough enough to afford

How about the older Funaro & Camerlengo Resin Kit #3603 "37' Wood Meat Reefer Wilson Car Lines"? They show up on eBay from time to time. It says it is accurate, but then it is from the era when close

Also missing are ERDX Reefers.Armand Premo

WCLX apparently built cars to its own designs. I don't think that there are any accurate WCLX models besides the Sunshine kits, but it may be possible to kitbash one. afaik the Rapido reefers are not

Other than older sunshine kits are there any accurate Wilson refrigerator cars In HO scale? I’m finding they were delivered to Warren Pennsylvania quite often. Brian J. Carlson

Was Richard Hendrickson ever able to do the followup article on modeling rebuilt PFE Reefers in the Rail Model Journal? Here is the initial article on the pre-rebuilt versions with a closing teaser

Group, It is listed in the 1965 ORER. Rich Christie

it's a photo from the 1960's or later so why do you think it would be in a 1955 roster? -- Tim O'Connor Sterling, Massachusetts
