Well now that we are back again.
Car of the Week : A Canadian National different type of 40 reefer by Athearn. If your wondering how a Athearn 40 reefer can be different it is this. The first series of reefers that Athearn made had doors that hinged open. This type didn't last long.
* "CNR Serves all Canada". CN 207902.

Something new every week. I've seen thousands
of Athearns, never seen this one, ever. I like
all those tracks in the back: all main lines
or is it yardage, I have to wonder.

Hi Chops; The two furthest away are mainlines. The other are yard tracks.

And more! As a kid I thought that box car doors that
weren't molded in were the bomb.
