Here is a STRATTON AND GILLETTE (SGRT) refrigerated boxcar. This one is so darned cold that it attracted a polar bear!

Ed, is that an Artitec crane in the background? like that big valve too. 

Indeed it is, Peter Yes

 Crawler_crane by Edmund, on Flickr

Artitec has some beautiful models. I seem to recall the big valve was a Selly "Finishing Touches" detail item. I think they had several sizes in straight and right angle globe valves. Big for HO but there were some pretty big steam valves, 12" to 16" in an old plant where I used to work. They make a nice detail.

Thank you, Ed
