Rick,

Now that Walthers has published the artwork on their web page, the reefers have BRCX lettering.

RPL. 55' 11" Mechanical Reefer w/8' Plug Door Opening. Built 1963 by Havelock (CB&Q). Trane Refrigeration. Foam Insulation. Automatic Temperature Control. Equipco Load Dividers. Series #5150-5199. Photo in CB&Q Color Guide on p69.

They have a reweigh date on 2-70 (a quick eraser can solve that for those modeling prior to that).

There is a BREX set of reefers in the same number series, but built 1957 by Havelock.

For those who have purchased the Burlington Bulletin CD from the society, there is an article in February-March 1963 issue about applying foam to insulated cars at Havelock.

Ijust saw that Walthers announced a 50' exterior brace mechanical reefer they say is based on Burlington prototype.  The numbers are 5151 and 5198.  If they are truly 50' then they are short.  Did anyone get a chance to see the model at NTS

Thanks
