I can weather in-under and behind handrails, hopper ends and anywhere else that gets buried before I put it together... but WHERE DO I GET THE ECW centre depressed? ...ok, that's solved that one...how about a six axle (two truck) centre depreseed? I've also seen six axle tank cars... don't know when/where they ran or what they carried... looked good though...

I like Mech Reef's myself, but in the 1980s weren't they mostly 1960s (and early 1970s) leftovers, usually in their original paint. Were there any new Reefers made in the 1980s (I realize some got repainted, particularly after PFE was split up between UP and SP) Now, in the 1990s, not only did they start manufacturing new reefers (including the rather big Cyro-gens...hmmm those aren't so mechanical, are they?), but also they began rebuilding much of the old stock (including new external refrigeration units, or new internal units but with the roof section over the refrigertaion compartment removed). Meaning several new mech reef configurations...
