I recall that Train Miniature had a lot of billboard reefers, and many modellers collected them. I bought quite a few of them off the "used" table at a nearby hobbyshop, mainly because they were affordable.
All of the ones I bought were stripped of their paint, most being re-done in the colours and lettering of my freelanced roads. Most were later sold when I decided to backdate my layout to the late '30s.
Of those TM wood reefers, this is one of the few still remaining, modified into an express reefer using Athearn high-speed trucks, plus a few added details...
I think that I have around 50 reefers from a number of manufacturers, more than half of them representing real prototypes, with the balance lettered for my various freelanced roads.
