Oooooooooooo
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Note to Mike: These didn't have the blue bearings on new/rebuilt cars back then. I'm not sure about rebuilt cars into the 80s.

WOW!

The caps on the Timkens we used in the 60s at work (paper mill) were mostly silver, or a medium yellow. The blue is a newer iteration.

Now in game as rolling stock but still a couple of problems to solve: 1. No coupling sound. 2. Intermittent auto numbering - when placing car in Scenario Editor about half the time no auto number is generated and cars without auto number generate consist error when scenario is run.

A much needed replacement for the old KUJU reefer. Watch this space for many repaints. *!greengrin!*
