discussion Custom O Scale Wood Reefer

[Lee Drennen]

This Wood frame work is a old All Nations Boxcar. I’ve added some styrene siding this is what I have so far I need to order more styrene and parts

Wow Lee, that is some big difference. That is going to be a beauty when you git 'er done!
Will it be road specific or a generic reefer car?

Nice progressLee, Is this a mechanical reefer or will it have hatches for ice? Cheers, Rick H.

That's some seriously nice work Lee. What's a Reefer? I work on the railway in the UK so I was wondering how it compares with anything we do or have used.

Mick, I believe reefer is an American term for a refrigerated truck / trailer / freight carriage.

Guys
Thanks for the likes and complements I’m sorry I’m not building Military at this time I just don’t have the interest at moment. I need to get some things done on the layout I’ve neglected for years

Modelling is modelling Lee irrespective of subject, its good to have a change of focus.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Mick very encouraging

Like Mick says +1 I don't have any sort of layout, so I'm more than happy to watch your develop. Nice work on the wagon.

Lee, really impressive work on the conversion. Like the door gear especially when against the side walls. I can see your really enjoying doing it .
If it wasn't a refrigerated unit you could have had Yorkshire Tea on it .:smiling2:
