The beer cars are Athearn blue-box ice-bunker reefers, repainted. As I recall, they still need to be assembled when you get them. This is no big deal for one of these kits. Athearn blue-box kits are at the low end of the detail scale. The paint jobs are very good quality, though, and offer a nice path to some very unique cars.
This is their "Mule Beer" car in front of my brewery:
I picked my cars up at the Springfield show a couple of years back. As I recall, they also make some nice interior detail stuff, like machine shop parts. If you're thinking of doing a machine shop with lights and interior details, this is a very good way to go.

(I have no financial interest in Greenway, by the way. Sure do like beer reefers, though.)

Our earlier cars are all blue box athearn, some have plastic wheels, some metal. some have horn hook couplers, some have kadee type couplers. It all depends on when Athearn made them and when they were printed. Our later cars are a china import, printed by us in the US, with metal wheelsets and knuckle couplers, the later cars are preassembled. You can view most of them on our website, Greenwayproducts.com. Our email is greenwayproducts@comcast.net. Our phone is 724-238-6268 we do not answer much of the time, but there is a message machine and we are pretty good at returning calls if the message is clear enough to understand. We are always happy to answer questions. It is widely known, however, that our shipping operations are generally closed from late November until March or April. This is a manadtory schedule placed on us in recent years because of medical requirements. During that period we can be reached, but only occasionally, at 602-314-1429. I hope this helps answer your qauestions.
Really miss you guys at the Timonium and Springfield shows . ---- Ken McCorry
I also miss Greenway, Al, Connie, and wonderful staff. As we all must............. someday get old, but we have this hobby that helps and prolongs the aging proceess.
For the record, I co-managed the Timonium Great Scale Model Train Show for over 30 years. Greenway had attended most of these shows, I can easily put them in the top three of our very best vendors.....possibly the best!
Feel assured that if you do business with these fine folks, you will be quite pleased.

Years ago I bought an Erie Lackawanna bay window caboose from them. An athearn product, repainted with the gray and maroon paint scheme. Nice paint job and their service was very good.
