The second 20 cars also came without roofwalks, and matching low ladders and
brakewheel.

When laying out the artwork, I noticed they were stencilled "When empty,
return to EL RY Buffalo, NY" - did the local that ran to the Cool Whip plant
come out of Buffalo?

And if you have not seen the moldwork for these Red Caboose reefers, I shot
some photos (attached) of a PFE low-ladder, roofwalk-less version. Note the
separate door closing rods and the etched metal refrigeration unit screen at
the lower left, as well as all the uncoupling rods and etched walkover
platform. As you can see, these cars are a couple of steps up from the
Con-Cor or Athearn models.
