I was wondering if anyone has any pics of FGE 'Solid Cold' 57' mechanical reefers, and would be willing to post them? I bought the Athearn set of 2 reefers, one with the mispelled 'Solid Clod' logo (would it be too much to ask for a prototype pic of this exact car...), the other painted in the insulated boxcar scheme, which I plan to repaint.
In addition to upgrading the typical details - ladders, grabs, etc. - I've cut out the grills at the refridgeration end, and am adding fine brass mesh for the see-through effect of the prototype. If there's a pic anyone has of any road's car showing the detail of this area, and how the ladder spans the screen, that would be a big help. I'll post some pics of my project soon.
Thanks,
Chris
