Holy Reefer Batman!
Reader,
If you like chrome and reefers there are 10 different runs coming this spring and they are in the library. I've mentioned before it seems these runs come in waves. For awhile it was 9 light roof caps, then lowboys, now reefers. It is curious how this happens as different people are doing the runs. Either way it means trucks are being produced and that is a good thing for collectors.
Several older runs were added along with all the new runs.
The "add a photo" feature in the library was not working and that is now fixed.
If you have any leads on people that have done older runs, let me know as I am reaching out to different people asking for info. So far the results have not been great but it costs nothing to ask.

Reader There have been a lot of new subscribers joining the library. Welcome! A couple of things to know. One, if you see a record with missing data, I am always on the hunt to fill in the blanks. The "suggest an edit" field is your opportunity to make the library even better by helping me fill in the blanks. This is especially important on older sets that are getting harder to find good data on. Two, curate your own collection in the "my models" and "my wishlist" sections. Choose the $8 per...
Reader Been a little while since we spoke and WOW, the diecast hits keep coming. This month alone there have been various owner-operator and company sets released all with Wilson grain trailers. 5,544 to be exact. If you need a grain trailer you won't have trouble finding one. I've mentioned before these sets seem to come in waves. 2023 has been dominated by Peterbilts with double or single-round headlights and buckets of lowboy trailers. I will bet good money you will see 379 Petes with...
