Just a reminder that they started at $335 retail so expect to pay a premium.  I considered it a great deal to get a rather common Rr-25 for $295 a few years ago. 

 

Nice cars, though.

Norm he is referring to his brass ATSF reefers that have never been shot in mold in O scale.

I've always been curious about the color on the PRB SFRD reefers.  IMHO They look too orange, more like a PFE orange.  I've never seen that mentioned when these cars are discussed.  

 

Any comments?

 

I should state that at the time these were made, everything else was also too orange.  The more yellow SFRD reefers started with Atlas in O scale, but unlike the PRB reefers, they are not actual Santa Fe models.
