Very nice, and very hidden. There certainly wasn't much publicized about this car - not that I'm plugged in that much, but I'd never heard of it before. There have been other cars like this from various divisions - wish there was some way for these TCA Division limited offerings to get better publicized.

There was an ad in the TCA Headquarters Bulletin a month or two ago.That's the only place I saw the information, and I ordered mine as soon as I saw the ad. I got all four numbers - kind of silly, but you hardly ever see anything lettered for the CM&PS, which was a temporary subsidiary that the Milwaukee Road set up for the Pacific Coast extension project.. The reefers will go nicely with my Atlas Bellingham Bay boxcar (a joint project between Andy Petersen and a Canadian club) and Bellingham Beer reefer (Atlas Golden Spike). 

 

One kind of sour note was that the NW Division charged the same shipping per car no matter if you ordered one or four. I wound up paying 20 bucks more for shipping than the actual cost printed on the shipping label.
