36' wood reefer cars
Posted by sparkyjay31 on Wednesday, December 19, 2007 10:05 AM
It appears that Roundhouse has discontinued all the 36' wood reefer cars that are undecorated.  Who else makes these that are undecorated?  I'm having a bugger of a time finding them in the 36' length.  40' seems to be readily available.

I believe the Atlas 36' reefers are available undec, but they're quite a bit more expensive than the old MDC ones. I wish Athearn would make all the old MDC stuff available as undec kits, I know for my free-lance railroad I use MDC cabooses as my standard caboose, now I can't get them anymore!

Put a couple coats of primer on it and boom you are ready to go.

   MTH makes a whole series of them, some in Beer Company paint, some in Old Time railroad paint, and I have a unlettered car in white paint.  I'm watching for UPS, the just shipped the 1880s 70foot wood passenger cars.
