Several years ago when Intermountain released their FGE refrigerator, I purchased some undecorated kits and decals that would be sufficient. I located a prototype image of FGEX 50098 in one of the volumes of Classic Freight Cars and set to work. The model was assembled per the instructions without any fanfare as is typical with some of my projects. The car was painted with Pollyscale Reefer Yellow, Floquil Oxide red, and Floquil Old Silver. The decals were sourced from the only available FGE decal set of the time, Microscale 87-238 and the car was weathered per the prototype image. I have always enjoyed all things FGE and hope this serves as inspiration for others. Now that I am far more knowledgable about the FGE/WFE/BREX fleet, this model has become the lone example of the prototype while other steel reefers are constructed.
