Found this on ebay for 9.99. It needed new couplers, other than that, ready to use.
I have a smaller-sized layout, so I try to buy carefully. The cars that interest me are some that might indicate some "connection" to my railroad career.
Almost 40 years ago (how can it be that long?), when I was a young engineman fighting to hold on with Conrail back in those days, I worked a job that ran from Danbury (CT) over the Maybrook line and then hooked up with the former New York Central Harlem line up to the (then) end-of-the-line in Wassaic, NY.
One of the two companies we serviced there was "Triwall", which took raw cardboard and fabricated containers and other things. But in previous times, their factory had actually been the first "Borden's" dairy -- back in those times (around 1871) it had been started as the "New York Condensed Milk Company".
So... I decided a "Borden's" milk car would be worth adding. I reckon there may not have been actual express reefer cars of this type painted in this style, but that's ok with me. This one will do well enough.
