I find those reefers with graphics to be among the most appealing freight cars!

It's a Stewart-Lundahl kit car that I recognized on eBay and scooped up for a good price. The other car in the lot was a victim to poor packing and USPS brutality - there was hole in the side of box. I might be able to reassemble that car with a bit of luck.

You bought it just for the trucks and couplers? What’s it made of?

Tinplated steel - total scratch build -- actually cost me nothing - free. Best thing I can do with it is to salvage the trucks and couplers, and I can use the archbars. More than a little crude representation of a GLa hopper; maybe 17/64th's as well. Load is actually cardboard.
