If anyone wants to sell one out of their 3 pack let me know. It is a cool car, but I don't need/want three.

I have about 30 cars painted and don't feel like putting on more decals. :'( >I'm curious.... and with no malace aforethought; "why not".....? It is "model" railroading. I have exactly the opposite view. I want to model my own stuff. Anyone can buy RTR; only "I" can model for me...that makes my RR diffferent......I'm not judging; I really want to understand why you'd prefer to buy RTR than model yourself ?Thanks !

>it's nice to see that this car can be justified on just about any layout.Bryan.... I model the Espee Coast line in the '49. Do you think I have a chances?The car is nice and I like it, but... in the PFE kingdom?Just curious if you have some note.
the cars were used for far more than goods requiring conventional refrigeration. Oiled ball bearings, wax paper, ink, candles, turtles and nuts are just some of the common commodities for this car........
Here are the three topics on the GHQ site discussing these cars.These are cars that will fit most era's and railroads from what I can see.JonZM-19 Steam Era Paint Schemes For CNR 8-Hatch Reefershttp://www.ghqmodels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3597&view=nextZM-18 Building Overhead Ice Bunker 8-Hatch Reefer Carshttp://www.ghqmodels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3598&view=previousZM-17 Intro to Canadian 8-hatch Overhead Ice Bunker Reeferhttp://www.ghqmodels.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3597&view=previous
I'd have prefered slab side covered hoppers, but hey, the refer is a nice to many CN modelers. Too old for my era, though.
