My SOTW is a set of 4 reefers by Mantua. They produced this set in the 1990's if I recall correctly.

Frank, I'm not sure if they are heavyweights - they weren't marketed as "Heavies", but they do have a nice cast underframe. Here is a picture of the floor and the 4-pack as they sold it.

I modified them with new stirrups, wheels, and couplers. My apologies to all true Tyco and Mantua collectors.
