Hi Bill -- I found remounting the ladders and roofwalk helped the car quite a bit. It’s been a LONG time, so I don’t remember all the details (no pun intended), but as I recall there were little mounting bosses that caused the ladders and roofwalk to stand off too far from the related surface. I found it fairly easy to remove things – the glue job wasn’t all that good – carve off the offending bosses and remount. “S”omeday I will add real grabirons and the rest of the details...
Bill Winans ----------------------------- [Attachment(s) from Bill Lane included below] I just bought my first ever Crown Reefer on a goof. I recently did 2 high end O Scale cars as West India Fruit & Steamship Co. It was an intrusting looking scheme. The likelihood of this car running through South Jersey on the PRSL is probably not so good though! I lucked out that is already had SHS trucks & scale wheels. I guess they all had SHS trucks? The high rail versions had the SHS coupler? I added about 3 ounces and put on Kadee couplers – good enough. Better than American Models – not as good as SHS. I will eventually have a new icing platform so a variety of reefers would be good.
