I would recommend Microscale 87-535 "Burlington Route (CB&Q)
Refrigerator cars #1".
I have used them for several of my 1941 cars. For the roof platforms I
would suggest
the Tichy roof hatches they look good. If you are goiing to change the
roof ends and
door hinges don't forget to lose the brake platform and raise the brake
staff so
the brakemen won't have to bend over.
There are some pictures in Burlington Bulletin #12 which is available
from the society
as a reprint. See the company store at: http://www.burlingtonroute.com/
