I just saw a posting mentioning 40 MTH "36 foot?" reefers.  I was not aware of that many from MTH, so l am sure l have missed some.  Due to apparently less advertising or me missing right venue, l feel even with my interest in these confined to four states, and mostly to Atlas,  interesting ones came and went. There are a lot of reefer collectors, so there can be a need for a book on, or periodically updated lists of model reefers produced.....and ..one that shows as many as known real billboard reefers, for which a photo survives.

Book, real billboard reefers, "Billboard Refrigerator Cars" by Richard H. Hendrickson and Edward S. Kaminski.

Thanks for the reply ...any cars in that book that have not been done by a mfr... .especially interesting and model worthy ... probably not...as l would guess all (in the book) have been done ...somebody, probably several, very specialized and thorough collectors, of all reefers,  could gin out a book on the reasonably scale models that have been done by all recent three rail manufacturers.  IF the market could support the book !!??  I don't think model billboard cars was a boom and bust fad, on to the next best thing?
