    FGEX Truss Rod Reefer – Series 14000 & 20000 Chicagoland 2018 Mini-Kit

    My FGEX Truss Rod Reefer is shown here ready for paint. I built two underframes. The suggested one using a Tichy Reefer Underframe featured in the RCW Blog and the one pictured here from scratch. I hope to be able to present a clinic at the 2019 Chicagoland RPM on its construction. George Toman

    2017 Mini-Kit Thread (CGW 920000 Series Boxcar)

    After learning from Ed Hawkins that the roofs were painted cement black paint as well as the running boards were left unpainted, I went ahead and updated my car to reflect this. I feel my base paint is a bit too brown, but too late to change. Here is a photo with cement black roof.

    2017 Mini-Kit Thread (CGW 920000 Series Boxcar)

    In doing research on this CGW car I received the following info from Ed Hawkins on the underframe Pullman-Standard’s 1937 AAR box cars built for Seaboard, CGW, and 5 C&EI BX express box cars in 1944-1945 had common underframes with their truck centers lengthened 2” to 30’-10 1/2”.

    Thanks Mike. I have some 40 plus year old Swiss Pattern files, # 6 fine. These are fairly small at about 4.5 inch long. These are very sharp for being a #6 cut These are available but getting harder to locate. I have both Grobet-Swiss and Nicholson George
