Here's a four-pack of 34' Tyco reefers...they were originally 40'ers, but shrunk when I washed them prior to painting...

More 40' freight cars please.

Here's a doublesheathed 40'er from Train Miniature, modified into a taller car to match a real car in a photo...

....many of which were later rebuilt as steel-sided cars.
