Eastern Railroad Discussion > "Solid Clod" FGE ReeferDate: 11/19/12 10:02 "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.

I just digested what was wanted; an actual picture. I apologize for that.

Bill Miller Galt, ON Date: 11/19/12 14:56 Re: "Solid Clod" FGE Reefer Author: SCL1517 Brings to mind the "NW&" coal hopper and the Family Lines equipment that transposed Clinchfield for Georgia, as well as the SBD painted Bethlehem 4 bay coal hopper with the red over yellow logo (opposite of standard).
