Bob, Thanks for the information. I purchased a Scenery Unlimited refrigerator car constructed with the V&T underframe. I could use some to scratch-build additional refrigerator cars. Unfortunately, the new owner of V&T does not to my knowledge produce the underframes at present.

The underbody was an excellent product--the roof not so much!. The roof was fairly heavy and with the urethanes of the time, all mine were warped. The underbody's detail was excellent. I did glue mine to the standard NE floor material to prevent any sags or warping. I then used the standard wooden end blocks shortened a little to make my basic box. Some of S Scenery's reefer kits used the V&T products. Unfortunately Don them eliminated the wooden end blocks and the wooden subfloor, resulting in somewhat weaker construction.
