Latest run of Intermountain (Wegmann) HO PFE Rebuilt Reefers
It also looks to me like the single herald versions of the r-40-19 and r-30-21 are using the incorrect later ("fatter") UP logo dating from about june 1946 whereas the rebuild dates are from march 194

I have a red caboose kit r-30-12 pfe/wp reefer with feather in WP logo as orange but I've seen a red caboose RTR with the feather as silver. Can anyone explain which is correct? (I'm modeling 1947-48)
