I didn't notice the ladder. The ART reefer in the background appears to have its ladder attached the same way. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Good, clear reefer photo. Foreground reefer is SFRD 8002, a Class Rr-39 reefer. This is one of 170 cars rebuilt circa 1945-46 from Class Rr-2, -3 and -4 reefers. http://images.library.ca.gov/high-res/

Perishable Waybills: Always Pink?
One source I reviewed said perishable waybills were pink per the AAR. Was this a requirement or a recommendation? Did this practice pre-date the AAR? Thanks. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA

Yeah, More Resin Coming (HO Scale Was NOT Stated)
Yesterday morning there was NO scale indicated on the Home and About pages. I contacted the owner who told me he planned to issues kits in other scale so that is why no scale was stated on those tabs.
