Custom run freight cars.

Jeff at The Train Loft is commissioning these nice looking 36' reefers:

Frank, you are right. That's a great looking reefer. Jeff, will sale out of those cars very quickly.

I would like to see someone make these two cars.

I always wanted one of those Heinz Field reefers, but never got one.

RadioRon,

I suggest you advertise on this forum under the wanted section. Also, check with Beth Marshall and Andy Peterson. They are probably the two largest Weaver dealers still in business. Talk to Rich Foster at MTH and ask him if he would be interested in making that car. Maybe, John Brady of Brady's Trains in Greensburg PA. would do it.

Jim - You did some terrific custom runs with Weaver!

Thank you Mark. I should of done a few more. I made a big mistake by not doing a few more custom runs with them. Joe and his people treated me great.

Would like to see one of these in O scale.  Submitted a few years ago when MTH invited suggestions.

Meanwhile, this is my favorite of recent custom runs, commissioned by a popular OGR Form sponsor.

Both of those cars are nice. I suggest you ask your favorite MTH dealer if they would be interested in doing them.

This is mine to date. There are more coming though!

Chitown Steve, If the ones that are coming are as nice as the above car you will have a bunch of winners.

Jim, I gather the Heinz Field Hot dog reefer and the Wayne Feed PS-2 are you doing.  Both are very nice.  Boy you and Weaver had something going on!

Coach Joe, those are two cars Weaver made for me. I loved every car they made for me. They did great work.

By 1959 there were about 1000 of this type of reefer in service.  Atlas produced models of the GARX reefer in HO.  How about doing these in O gauge?

I’d welcome this !!!  MTH did some too -

they were decent though I can’t say how they would stack up in comparison to Atlas.

Berwyn’s Trains has done some outstanding custom runs of Atlas, ne: MTH passenger cars, and I own many of them.

Bob Thatcher of AM Hobbies did some specials with Atlas. Lost ~ 1/2 dozen in Sandy, never opened. 🙁

These two were probably my favorites.
