The recent topic regarding The Ultimate K-Line Item has had references to these refrigerator cars.

Rather than hi-jack that topic I am starting a new topic about these cars.

In the 2004 First Edition catalog K-Line introduced the scale 40-foot wood-sided reefers. All were numbered in the K742-XXXX series.  K-Line cataloged a great number of them, some of which included four different road numbers. Unfortunately K-Line only produced very few of the many reefers cataloged. I have endeavored to find a list of the cars actually produced without success. Internet searches have shown that some cars are readily available however others that were produced were obviously produced in very limited quantities, and consequently demand premium prices.

It the "Ultimate" topic it has been stated that only 9 were produced.  And another member indicated he has all of them but the Looney Tunes reefers.

Would you mind sharing which refrigerator cars you have?  If you don't care to share publicly could you send me a private e-mail?  My e-mail is in my profile.

I am still trying to come up with a definitive list of which cars were actually produced.

Thanks so much for your help.

I may have contributed to the confusion unknowingly.

There are 9 O-27 double door box cars numbered K-5710 through K-5718. They were produced 8-85 through 4-88.

There are 8 O gauge double door box cars numbered K644-xxxx beginning in 1996.

My data comes from the K-Line Collectors guide vol 1, 1985-1998.

The K742 series is after this period and I would suggest consulting the legacy K-Lines site.  Production qtys are unknown to my knowledge.
