I’ve recently completed building a plywood-sheathed PFE Class R-30-24 reefer in HO scale, and described the parts of the build that were unusual or perhaps needed explanation. The car is shown in the attached photo. It was described in a 5-part series on my blog. If you’re interested, a link is below to the concluding post, and it links back to previous ones.

I don't see any -"hook and horn" couplers.  What makes this scene so creditable is the subtle variety in the components.  Very well done.

Thanks, BIll. You do of course know what’s in the junkyard.
