At the first S Fest (30 years ago) Bob Ristow and I visited a scale layout in the Chicago area somewhere where the owner ran a long 40-50 car train of reefers and billboard side boxcars made from Cleveland Models carsides. He had detailed the cars and it was a very effective train for it's day and would be today, also. It is amazing what some people can do with the simplest materials. Keep in mind, those carsides were printed in the 40's and 50's so they were already 25 or 30 years old.
