Since it appears Stan’s resin kits and parts are no longer available I did a search on FHIX HO reefers and see that Accurail makes one with the five panels on each side, has the correct ends and a diagonal panel roof and is a very good base model to build the MP 114330-114679 series. Nate has posted a photo of one of the cars from this series in an earlier post in this blog. I’m meeting with Hubert Mask at RPM to discuss making decals for these series of unique MP flour and cement cars.

Accurail’s dreadnaught end – matches the prototype perfectly.
