Mooooantua 40' billboard reefer, from contented moo-cows. Had hoped this was made from an old Tyco mold but alas not. I love this car's colour combination and the Union Refrigerator Transit is so Nickel Plate. Sweet... like the milk.

| Ship it on the Frisco! Pretty fit Fleischmann, Ken. Sometimes I forget the Europeans produced a lot of American outline over the years. It's a pity the market has become so parochial.

This is a Broadway Limited Denver & Rio Grande California Zephyr "Silver Sky" observation car.
Lighting is beautiful-the perfect subdued blue-green-and the drumhead, though very small, is
illuminated, as are the markers & rear light. This is the first Broadway Limited item I've
owned, & I have to say I'm impressed with their quality.[center]  [/center]

The box may be rough but your Super Chief car looks in perfect condition, microbusss. 86 foot box cars you say? They must be HUGE!  I don't have any box cars that long. Is your NYC quad door car coloured red and grey in the Pacemaker scheme?

| a6m5zerosen, your dome observation car is awesome! The lighting is very effective. Are BLI passenger cars factory lighted or did you have to add a lighting kit?

Here is a Custom Car I recently purchased... Interesting Car With Cities Decaled On All 4 Sides.  I have been checking to see if the Show Me Model RR Co. Made any others. Have not found any others yet. Will be looking  Carl

| I've been meaning to get down to Show Me Model Railroading, but haven't quite made it yet. It's over an hour and a half away, and not in a town I usually have reason to go to. If you look on their website, they have many custom cars. Last time I looked, they had a lot of odd beer reefers and such. If I get a chance to go down there, I'll give a report.

Terrific balancing act, microbusss! Sorry, can't help you out with the coupler bars.

Ahh, LED! Assumed it was, thanks a6m5zerosen. I've just been checking out the BLI cars on their website and added them to my wishlist. Very classy gear.
