Since George didn't let me win the Ole Frothingslosh reefer 😮 I was messing around and came up with this based off a Lionel 1719 boxcar and the side of a Bing Schlitz reefer.
I keep thinking about what Arnie has done with custom tin printing and making his own cars.

Looks great Dennis! Crazy, I was thinking the same thing today! I looked around for some decals, but yours looks better. If you use glossy or satin photo paper, it will look just like litho.

I was also thinking about doing this with the American Flyer 3000 Series litho freight cars. They are almost unattainable in good shape. If I can get good photos of them, it would be doable.

Where did you get the photo of the Bing car?
