Great idea to visit Railex.  I can't wait to see this reefer.

Awesome Craig

A much needed model in N scale - it's gonna bankrupt me though!

Cheers,

cr#$ now that I got ride of all my reefers except the LRV Beer cars . . . Craig you are positively killing me here!

That said, way to lead the pack!  When you buy out Walther's, let us know and we'll all go in as limited partners.

Nice Craig! 

Now who is going to produce that 1/4 mile long warehouse? ;D

[ednadolski]

Terrific, Craig!    How do I get my paycheck to direct-deposit to a BLMA account?

BTW any interest in also producing the 72' version (or can the 64' be kitbashed)?

Best modelling idea EVER - just model the warehouse with the train INSIDE. No need for cars, locos or anything else.

Thanks Craig, these should be fantastic!

Yes and no... The 64' version would be a good starting point for the newer BNSF cars...

The older cars have a rounded, smooth roof.. There's currently about 50 of them in the Bakersfield yard right now.

Yeah, the only reason I can see these wouldn't sell in droves is anticipation that the 72' version will be coming out, thus further bankrupting all of us modern guys.

Also who is going to do the graffiti decals? - These units are so defaced when I
drive by the UP yard here in Fresno.

Any plans to do these in Tropicana for the eastern boys?  The prototype isn't exactly right, but pretty close:

Without
at least some grafitti they are not going to look 'right'.  Looking at the popular photo sites and warming up the printer before the Grafitti Cabal arrives to storm the gates wielding torches and pitchforks...

Not even pretty close...

Whoa, good shot.

Now I know you and Craig would never be caught dead making such a gaffe, but you would sell a bunch.
