I have finished my FGEX Reefer to a point that it is ready for paint. Building was a bit different than I am use to with those trussrods. Attached are a couple photos

Great work.  I have been waiting for your approach since I finished the M15k 15 minutes before you posted yours.  And I did an incomplete job on the underframe....From where did you get the hatch latches?
Thanks,
Joe Binish

Extremely nice! Very well done! The rivet lines on the center sill are hand-made?

The Ice Hatches are from Plano part#12079 and listed as a new item.

The Rivets on the Centersill are Resin Rivets from the MicroMark. I used these as they are a bit larger than the ones I had from Archer.

Thanks for all the kind comments.
I built two underframes for this car. One using the  recommended Tichy part and the Scratchbuilt one as seen here.
I hope to present a clinic on its construction showing both underframes as an option at this years 2019 Chicagoland RPM
This was another fun car to bash together

Amazing detail.  Your work is inspiring.  Mike S. recently tossed me his N scale resin casting of the same car.  I will be hunting for parts as few of what you show are available off the shelf.  

Quick question.  Are those Andrews fiction bearing trucks?   Would this be correct for this car in the late 20's?
