Larry,

?

I¡¯ve been using American Models four wheel passenger trucks on mine: ?I¡¯ll let others comment on their appropriateness. I have a bunch that I don¡¯t need.

Brooks, ? Just curious on that REA reefer¡­old Kinsman? Scenery Unlimited? Or ? ?Steam Depot? The latter had one piece sides, a plus. Anyway, it¡¯s nice to see the curved end fascia which is prototypical. Very nice!

Bud,

The REA reefer was built from a Ye Old Huff and Puff kit.? I upgraded the kit with some styrene parts, Archer Fine Transfer rivets, etc.? You can see some of the upgrades in the build photo attached.? I wrote an article about the build with the theme of upgrading older wooden model kits with better details that appeared in the November 2015 NMRA Magazine.??
