Burlington Northern Yellow 57' Mechanical Reefers 1970+

This decal set can be used to letter BNFE / WFCX Western Fruit Express yellow 57' Reefers, matching the new HO Intermountain, Red Caboose and even the old Athearn models.

The reefers have yellow sides / roofs with black underframes. Early WFCX cars had brown ends, while later BNFE cars and repaints have yellow ends. Some of the early WFCX cars also appeared to have silver roofs.

This decal set is jam-packed with data to handle just about anything you want to do in a 57' Yellow BNFE world, including extensive number jumbles, CAPY data options, and door data. The only thing you have to supply is an ACI label, if it is appropriate for your era.

Enough lettering is supplied to letter 2 complete cars. The latest in BN logo technology is also included: These BN logos are horizontally stretched to fit the ribs of the car, and allow the modeler to achieve professional level results with minimal work.
