While you might get the impression that our collection is one big frozen food section from all of the reefers we have been coveting, we also have quite a bit of other rolling stock. Weaver has build over the years some very fine covered hoppers that have been converted, and then later offered, in 3 rail O gauge. We have several of these. Also by Weaver, we have several sets of their hopper cars. They are unique, in that Weaver offers these in 12 car sets - each car with its own road number. With coal loads offered by "Bob's Loads" from - they look very good behind our big steamers! While Atlas in the manufacturer of the reefers, they also offer beautiful hopper cars - their 55 ton fishbelly hoppers and their war emergency hoppers - war emergency in that they were made from wood as steel was in short supply during the war. Atlas has also recently announced and shipped all kinds of beautiful box cars - outside braced 40'ers; steel rebuilts; and the double door box cars. Plus, they have recently shipped the first of their 11,000 gallon tank cars and their long awaited cabeese. Lionel has done quite a turn around in their rolling stock offerings - their "standard" or scale offerings include many new models. The Milk Cars are my favorite and an early sell out, plus the PS-1 box cars and the recently shipped steel sided reefers. These all are beautifully detailed and include their new couplers and trucks. We have over 30 cabooses, or cabeese, plus tank cars, maintenance equipment and trailers on flat cars, or TOFC, and lots of cars designed for hauling beer. Here's one of our favorites - an example of the Lionel Milk Cars: Here's an Atlas O panel-side hopper in Wabash:
