Yep. I figured that out after I sent my email. I got confused because the first sentence of Lester’s blog talks about ventilated box cars. It was relatively early here and I’m gonna blame it on the fa

Interesting video from the 40’s. Wine tank car at 4:42 point. Nice vintage freight cars. (State of the art at the time) https://youtu.be/k8s6X-y7ol8 Brian J. Carlson

Interesting, but I do have one question. Eric‘s presentation was on ventilated box cars. This looks like a normal refrigerator car. Why was it classified as a ventilated box car? Brian J. Carlson

The ends are wrong too if you are in to fixing. If this was intended as a close enough model then it’s probably ok. Brian J. Carlson

What model are you using for these? The plastic models for these have all been inaccurate in one respect or another? Brian J. Carlson

Reweigh date looks like 44. Brian J. Carlson

I’m reading emails on my phone and it’s too washed out to tell. For me anyway. Brian J. Carlson

No. They didn’t. He’s asking about the car on the left. It’s clearly NKP freight car color. You’re looking at the car on the right. Brian J. Carlson

The recent discussion on Wilson Reefers, and my questions a few weeks ago got me thinking, Has anyone ever done a deep dive on history the Wilson fleet during the steam era? Brian J. Carlson

Around 1988, I saved my allowance and did chores for a couple of months in order to afford an atlas RS 11 at $45. Even then I was modeling the steam era. Today that same locomotive would be $100 accou

Continuing to consolidate, rationalize, and I decided to backdate slightly (Not as far as Ray Breyer wants me too) so I have some freight cars for sale. List is mostly plastic with some resin. contact

At St. Louis or Cocoa in years past I seem to recall a vendor that had HO scale barbed wire and possibly even a tool to string it. Does anyone recall the vendor I am talking about? I think it was one

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 shake t

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
