SFRD Reefers
George Toman shares an update on the latest Resin Car Works kits that are on his workbench. Here’s George with some details.
Two Resin Car Works Santa Fe Refrigerator Department Reefers (Kit 10.0) are nearing completion. One will have the round Preco fans as used on class RR-36 and -40 cars. The other model will get the Square Preco fans as used on RR-35 and -39 cars. That’s where the holes are on the left side near the side sill. I followed RCW basic construction instructions with a few changes as follows.
Resin Car Works update
Frank Hodina wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support of Resin Car Works. The SFRD reefer kit sales have been brisk. Actually we only have enough decals for about ten more cars.

Southern Pacific B-50-15
Resin Car Works web guy Eric Hansmann has been working on an HO scale boxcar kit. Here’s a progress report.
I needed to break out of a summer slump so I started a few resin freight car kits. This Southern Pacific B-50-15 boxcar is leading the pack out of the car shops. It’s the latest kit from Westerfield Models. The lead image shows the current kit progress.
