Don, Well, you're right about that: There's no contest between your product and the Crown, but it was slightly different with the rectangular panel roof, albeit with too many panels for a refrigerator car. That's where some of the reworking can come in. The hinges are a bit too large as well.

They did not own the S gauge tooling, but leased it in each shot cost. The company that owned the tooling did contact us after Crown got out of S with the same offer, but we had the wooden reefer a few years and thought that their car would not help us.
