Don, regarding the Atlas reefer, a search of the group archives will show considerable discussion of the model when it first came out. Atlas claims the model is based upon a Cudahy car built in 1925.

Doug, on an old club layout we modeled a "branch house" called Nashua Beef in Nashua, New Hampshire. Do you know if this was the Cudahy affiliate in your list? Tim O'Connor

Opps, just looked at my posting on the website, to discover Yahoo removed the tabs, so it is impossible to tell which locations were slaughter vs branch, vs produce, vs cleanser. So lets try

My understanding of the meat business is that there were large slaughterhouse operations in the midwest, and that whole sides of beef (& pork?) were shipped to company "butcher-houses" in urban areas

Sorry, I get the digest version, so am always 24 hours behind ... but I will see what I can add to the discussion about the Cudahy meat company. Most of what I have is for the Cudahy Packing Co, based

Jim--- Best suggestion that I have is to use it for a car body shed on the ground. True Line Trains (Life-Like Canada's successor) has advertised a re-make of this car, and the photos in their ad

This subject may have been covered in the past so please excuse me if I'm creating repetition because it has not been found. Cudahy was also represented in the Boston area at least up through WW

I found the following: http://www.patrickcudahy.com/company-founder.html Also look at: http://www.patrickcudahy.com/company-history.html These help to sort things out. Later, Bill Kelly Tony

OK now I am confused. I thought the Sunshine meat reefer for Cudahy was for the Wisconsin meat packers. The CRLX cars were Cudahy Car Lines and were owned by the Cudahy packing Company in Wisconsin.

In an impulse purchase I picked up a LifeLike Canada Fowler boxcar. It came without the underframe and trucks. What underframe could I use and whose trucks would be right? Also the shell is painted

But remember there was also a Patrick Cudahy, Inc. (successor to the Cudahy Brothers company) located in Wisconsin, also in the meat business. Nearby today is the town of Cudahy, Wisconsin (those

Andy Miller showed me a trick of sorts: he has a palette knife, which is even thinner than a razor blade, and it can be used in very tight joints to push on tabs like you're dealing with there. SGL

Hello Bill, I tried a little, mild, X-Acto knifing between the roof & upper car-body, but it doesn't try to separate very easily. The ends keep stuck down. Don't want to gouge the plastic with the

Well, Greg, since you are finally doing a car I can use (i.e., not '50s and not PRR-oriented), put me down on your list. Fortunately, I'm not scheduled to be doing a clinic at that time. Richard

Just be careful the roof will lift off.  It has 3 tabs per side holding it in place.   Bill

I just received Walthers ATSF 1300 Series Caboose (2 pack). Anyone know how get into the interior of the car? Walthers instructions don't mention how. The roof tries to lift up in the middle but is
