Western Railroad Discussion > "Solid Clod" FGE ReeferDate: 11/19/12 10:01 "Solid Clod" FGE Reefer Author: AthearnModelTrains We’re in search of walk-around prototype images for the unique “Solid Clod” 57’ FGE Mechanical Reefer. The only photo we’ve been able to find was taken from a distance in a snowstorm. As we’ve researched other “Solid Cold” reefers, we’ve noticed the data can be different from car to car and we want to be sure our future model is as accurate as possible. Please e-mail swilson@horizonhobby.com if you have access to pictures of this special freight car. We appreciate your help.

It is an RBOX painted as FGE. I can't tell if it is photoshopped, if so, it is pretty well done. Looking at the other photos it seems this is some who does or admires graffiti, not a railfan... That said, I have a hard time believing someone did this. Date: 11/19/12 21:12 Re: "Solid Clod" FGE Reefer Author: Milw_E70 thegoonshow Wrote:
