Comparing a PNG Reefer Kit to a McCown Boxcar

Bruce,

I just reread your article about building the PNG Reefer.

It is really good. Could I persuade you to post a picture of the completed reefer coupled to one of the McCown Boxcars you built? I’d really like to see the comparison.

I hope inside is OK. It’s raining outside. :wink: Luckily, the reefer was on the top level of the storage, so I was able to get it pretty quickly.

And an overhead view.

Let me know what else you might like to see.

From the photo, the reefer looks not quite as tall as the box car, correct? Thanks for the photo.

Yep, it’s a little bit shorter in height. Also in length. The boxcar is a 33’ car, the reefer is 30’.

Thank you. Yes, you make my life more difficult. :wink:

Uh oh! How so? What new scheme do you have?

You’ve already got me looking at some Bachmann Tank cars…but they’re not quite as cheap as I’d like.

Bmann tank in my hot little hands…will know more this weekend…MWUHAHAHAHHAHAHA
