No, still been making progress. Little bit of an update here: http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?
As for the reefers, I finished all the brake rigging and stirrups, painted all the bottoms, and got a base coat of paint on the sides and roofs. All 27 are sitting in a box awaiting the final painting and weathering.
I did run across the following while browsing through the May 1988 issue of RMC. There was a letter in the Safety Valve column concerning the SLC's acquisition of these reefers. I thought that was pretty cool to stumble across the info.
One slight error, it is mentioned that the ATSF cars were renumbered from 100 to 145, but they actually only went to 140. 141 and up are obviously Milwaukee Road cars:
