Gary,
It's on page 27of Burlington Bulletin No. 12. This bulletin covers all reefers
owned and built by the Q
"The 5000's were simply 1957 versions of the earlier 100 series cars." The
earlier cars being the Walthers / Pacific HO flat sided plastic kit. " BREX
5000-5049 had Frigidaire refrigeration units, 5050-5059 had Trane units and
cars 5060-5069 had Thermo-King systems which were similar but not identicalto
the one in BREX 118"
Unfortunately my scanner dosen't talk to my PC so all I can do is ask one of
our more blessed members to forward a scan of the 5000 series cars. Maybe Gary
will be so overwhelmed that he will make the Q version. If you want a Bulletin
of your own, go to the BRHS website, about CB&Q, Company Store and BB#12
reprints are for sale.

Subject: [CBQ] WrightTRAK CBQ Mech. Reefer
We would be very interested in producing a prototypically correct CB&Q
mechanical refrigerator if there is enough interest involved. The only
difference between our kit and the CB&Q prototype (cars in series BREX 120-149
[changed to BRMX when the cars received meat rails in 1965] is the fact that
our Fruit Growers Express cars have a set of vents
high on the side above the sliding access door to the refrigeration unit.
These cars by Fruit Growers Express in Alexandria, VA in 1953 so they do
have the same builder as our Fruit Growers Express/Western Fruit Express
50' mechanical refrigerators with 6' plug doors.
Rob Manley mentioned a car # 5000. I am not familiar with this car or those
in this series. Could someone please direct me to where I might find one as
I would like to compare it our model.
Thanks!
