I drove up Hwy 99 from LA to Visalia via Fresno CA yesterday and noticed a ton of Armin cars (usually mixed in with UP cars) at several points along the way.
I've never seen these cars before - does any manufacturer model these in 0 scale?

Bernie has made them. I need to buy some from him!
The Fruit Grower's Express 57' Mechanical Refrigerator Cars have been made accurately in HO Scale and offered by Athearn.

Who would have the pull to make them O Scale?
Bachmann?
MTH?
Lionel?
Bachmann needs some more O Scale rolling stock to pull behind their new GP30 diesels. Bachmann has the factory to produce any Model Railroad freight car.

Well Weaver models had a modern mechanical reefer. Whoever got that mold could do an armn reefer.
Weaver Models made the PACIFIC CAR & FOUNDRY 57' Mechanical Refrigerator Car in the USA.
Lionel had their own version of the PC&F 57' Mechanical Refrigerator Car produced in China.
When Weaver Models closed, Lionel got their USA injection molds for their made in the USA production runs.
Can we get Athearn to make the FRUIT GROWER EXPRESS 57' Mechanical Refrigerator cars also in O Scale?
