Hi: Looking through the ORER there are quite a few Mexican railroads with a sizeable number of cars. It seems to me that Canadian cars were quite freely interchanged but not those from Mexico. How

Thanks Tim. I found an old Mainline Modeler I forgot I had that listed the rib car number series. For my actual year of interest (1961), the 40-ft rib sides totaled 10,464 cars. At the time MILW

Hi: I was looking to model one of the Fruit Growers Express RBNX 40 ft, 3270 cu ft RB reefers from the 80000-81379 series. I found one photo on the Fallen Flags

Thanks Richard. I've done some more digging in the interim. In my layout period MILW had 19,281 forty-foot XMs and 99 forty-foot XMLs, either of which would be suitable for my layout. The XMs fell

Kurt, To add to Robert and Richard's response HO models of these cars ae available from Sunshine Models in resin, Rib Side Cars and 5th Avenue Car Shops in pre-painted styrene. Both build up

Kurt, Might I suggest, if you don't have it already, Volume 13 of RP Cyc. It has a 75 page article on the Milwaukee's fleet of ribside boxcars, with numerous high quality photos included. I
