I have to admire any modeler who would build a car using such car
sides. We have better options now. For those wanting to try, here is a
list of parts for a reefer, which appeared in an eBay auction a few
years ago.
Today I wonder if it's even possible to find all such parts. At least
I know I can get the cardboard sides from Mwinternetauctionsonmain, if
I am willing to bid at least $3.99, plus $5.00 shipping.
This "kit" Includes:
1 pair of Gene Walp Page Milk Co. silk-screened reefer sides.

bushings),
1 set of Ace truck mounting screws & bushings,
1 pair of Delaware Valley S scale converted Kadee MKD-8 couplers,
1 each V&T Shops USRA reefer roof,
1 each V&T Shops USRA underframe,
1 each Northeastern roofwalk (trim to size).
1 each precut Northeastern subfloor,
2 each precut Northeastern end blocks,
1 each Northeastern scribed siding for two ends,
1 lot Northeastern wood for endsills and fascia strips,
36 Northeastern S scale grabirons,
6 Northeastern eye pins, for brake rod hangers & master links,
