I'd like to know who offers a wood side reefer with dreadnaught ends?

      Hi Jace --



As far as I know, Crown only produced a 40' reefer with wood sides, 

dreadnaught ends and steel roof (square panels).   Most details cast on, but 

separate ladders and roof walk, minimal underbody detail.   I did some work 

on my Swift version, and decided that they were too much trouble to get more 

when there are better versions for the same price.   I would guess that a 

lot of folks felt that way, because they were discontinued at the turn of 

the century.



Have fun!

I've come across the occasional reference to S scale Crown freight cars, and 

they appear to be based on the same models in O scale

(later bought out by Weaver); this is the first knowledge I've had that 

Crown ever was in S scale.

I know Mike MacCormack produced three cars in O scale in the late 1980's 

(outside braced/single-sheathed boxcar, AAR lower roof

steel boxcar, and woodside refrigerator car) and continued to do custom 

lettering for Weaver even after they bought his dies. Who

has more information on the S scale venture?
