Nice car I too purchased one and received it over the weekend.  Also for laughs and giggles STROHS spelled backwards is SHORTS.  Bet you didn’t know that?😁😎👍👍

LOL, I did not.

Btw, when talking to Jeff at Train Loft he mentioned these sold well but he does have a few remaining.

There's one on ebay for $125!

Better order soon if you want one.  I've ordered quite a bit of MTH 36' Reefers as they sell out quickly and are hard to find after they do.  I have several arriving today and tomorrow!

Any one have any idea on the production number for custom runs?  Not that I'm concerned as far as value, I'm just trying to make sure that I can get one of each as I have a certain amount of collector-ocd on these things!

Well, that's a good thing !  Glad these were so popular.

Well just so that you guys don't get too much beer...here is one for ice cream.

Best Wishes

When it rains, it pours...

Right on the heels of receiving the Stroh's Reefer, this one was just dropped off by UPS.

Great looking Old Style Reefer courtesy of Pat's Trains.

Here's a couple of Weaver reefers I've got.  Nicely decorated.  I've got several more Weaver reefers that are even more handsome I just don't have pictures at this time.

Here's the whole Lionel factory weathered series behind a Santa Fe Mohawk that has subsequently been corrected and now wears New York Central reporting marks.

I really like the Lionel MPC wood side billboard reefers.  I've got the beer series and a few others.  MPC did a great job decorating them.

I currently have 44 MTH Premier 36' Reefers on order (pre-order)!  I see Beth from the Public Delivery Track mentioned another one she is commissioning! 

I am staying away from the 40' Reefers!

While I have not partaken in such activities myself, shouldn't this thread only be discussed on April 20th? 

My contribution to the actual topic.  Lionel 2009 TCA Desert Division ATSF reefer converted to 2 rail with an Atlas wood sheathed reefer hiding in the background.  To indicate how old this photo is, it was taken with a Blackberry.

I agree 420 Day is where it should be.

Just delivered last night, Springfield brewery’s. One of the atlas cars good old uncle frank from B&F hobbies designed. He has one more car I need to find now.

Stroh's, now owned by Pabst, was founded in 1850, so that car could have existed in 1:1.  Did it?  I well remember ads for Stroh's
