Re: Cudahy 36' Meat Reefer -- Branchline (MDC)
First -- thanks to all for the encouragement!
John Golden asks:
1) Can you tell us a little more about the prototype? Who built these cars, and were similar types built

Some AC&F history lost
This week one of the former AC&F century-old buildings near St. Louis caught fire. TRRA traffic was halted to lay hose.

Bob, this is really great work. Very inspiring! Can you tell us a little more about the prototype? Who built these cars, and were similar types built for other companies?

Re: Preferred truck mounting on resin cars
When I need a special size head on a truck screw I run a 2-56 nut tight against the screw head, chuck the screw in a Dremel tool or lathe, then file or machine the nut to the required diameter.

Re: Cudahy 36' Meat Reefer -- Branchline (MDC)
You've made me want to dig out that article again. iirc there were over 600 CRLX reefers like this with similar dimensions.
Frank Hodina said some time ago that this car is planned as a future RCW

Cudahy 36' Meat Reefer -- Branchline (MDC)
Back mid-July, I posted a question about the prototype represented by the Branchline 36' reefer kit that I had in my stash. I learned that with added detail the kit could prototype-model the Cudahy
