This car was a stock Accurail wood reefer kit (another seen on next track), with letter boards and Cal-Scale AB-324 Exp. Reefer detail set added. Evergreen HO scale 1" x 8" styrene strip makes a neat job of the letter boards. In my "Spare Parts Department", I found some old Roundhouse passenger trucks that have the correct 7-ft. wheelbase. I cut off all unneeded parts, leaving only the bolster and sideframes, and substituted metal wheelsets. I wanted a slightly-weathered look, so I used Floquil Grimy Black and Floquil C460 CPR Maroon (a mixture they marketed briefly, several decades ago). Black Cat decals and Dullcote spray completed the look.
