Besides changing the ART reefers to boxcars the MP purchased a group of second hand Fruit Growers Express reefers and had them modified in a similar manner. Mike Huddleston designed and is producing this kit that will only be available through the society. You’ll get new ends, sides and roof. The modeler will need to source an Accurail 40’ plug door reefer for the interior carbody and underframe. Mask Island made a new decal set for the correct dimensional and capacity information. Note the large buzz saw was centered on the sides which is a minor variation from the ART group. The ART kits are still available from the society.

Jim Rose will announce when then kit’s will be available for purchase. Nate Obermeyer and Ron Merrick helped with providing photos to make this model as accurate as possible.
