Look of Vision Line PFE Reefers with Operating Icing Station car? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

andy bOGR Forum Member

I and my kids enjoy operating cars and accessories. I've been thinking about getting the PFE Vision Line Reefers. How cool to have the icing sequence sounds and actually ice a car! I see the vision line reefers are 11" and the operating car is 10". Doesn't seem to much of a discrepancy like many of the operating vs scale cars. How would the operating car look next to the vision line cars? Will it be dwarfed? Anyone have both that can post a photo?

Thanks,

Andy

A scale refer (Vision line) isn't very large so I don't think that it would look odd next to an operating icing car.

I have a non-vision Lionel refer that is the same model, I'll snap a pic tonight of it next to an icing car for you.

Here are a few pics for comparison.

The PFE reefer is bigger but not drastically.

I think that looks fine. Thank you for taking the time to shoot and post the photos!

Also as freight cars got larger, it was not unusual to have a new large car next to a smaller, older car.
