  I started with a Micro-Trains P.F.E. reefer and disassembled the model.   I masked off
  the roof and sprayed it bright silver.   The grabirons were painted Reefer Orange with
  a flex agent added.   The car body was weathered with pastels.   Model Die Casting
  roller bearing trucks with Micro-Trains low-flange wheelsets replaced the standard
  trucks.   Body mounted couplers were added.   A sound generator fashioned from
  Radio Shack components was mounted to the inside of the car to simulate an active
  mechanical refrigeration unit.   An on/off toggle switch was added to the floor between
  the center steps to control the sound unit.
