Sugar Beets Photo: D&RGW Gondola 70298 (1949)
I made a master for a beet load using short-grain rice. That's for S-scale, probably too big for HO. https://www.pre-size.com/products/SscaleCar_Loads.php The same could be done with anise seed in HO.

Vanderbilt Tank Car
Wow, this is a photo I thought I would never see. I was beginning to wonder if the car had ever been built. This model (S scale) is based on the first published article by Chuck Yungkurth, in 1954. Ch

1940's film including icing & loading reefers
This 1940's or 50's film is about Colorado peaches. It's a little blurry. Starting about minute 16, there is a long segment about harvesting & storing ice, icing, loading and reicing reefers. Steve Wo
