Here's a couple

Here's a couple I got somewhere. The reefers are Athearn but I'm sure the paint is custom.

One we made for a local brewing company.

Started life as an On30 Bachmann reefer with custom paint and decals. Wild Rose is a local watering hole on a decommissioned armed forces base. They live in a Quonset hut that was once part of the motor pool. the building number is AF23, hence the designation of this car.

Good beer too!

Falls City Beer - Louisville, Ky

My Dad used to drink it and said: "They should put it back in the horse".

Here is one running daily on my layout.

A 36' car from Roundhouse, with Kadee couplers and wheels.

A votre santé...

Apparently more modern 61' RBL beer cars are out-of-scope for this topic so I've bowed out.

Southern beer car

Here's a Southern beer car.

Looks like Bud Light and Diet Coke are doing pretty good business down there!

I don't have the Yuengling Car

but I have the Jax.

@ Rick

Nice Wild Rose car!

Also good to have the back story.

I've never seen the Falls City car.

Back in the horse...lol

@ Marc

Nice one, I have some shorter Roundhouse ones too. I'll see about setting some out.

@ Jim Fitch

Nice.

Coors is arriving in an unprototypical manner on the Milwaukee Road in 1973. It wasn't available east of the Mississippi in '73, was it?

Southern Beer car

Awesome!

Reminds me of an old college adventure ( truck, cans and all ) that I think is best kept to myself...lol.

At least the police weren't present.

Looks like someone

left a Buffalo Beer car on the overpass.

Bud Light and Diet Coke?

I thought this thread was about beer, not bottled water....

Scott Chatfield

AH!

This is the first time I have seen another one, Joe. Do you know if it is an Athearn car or something else?

A friend bought a large collection in 2017 and once he got out what he wanted for our club he left the rest with me to dispose of. I got to pick product for my work and I grabbed most of the billboard reefers like this.

@ Tim

The Jax car is an Athearn with custom paint by Show Me Lines.

Unfortunately they no longer produce new cars. From Charlie;

"After nearly twenty years, we're retiring from the custom car printing business. With Athearn's decision to no longer supply "blue box" kits, and rising costs for printing ink and plates, to say nothing of the age of the printer, we've decided to put the press away and devote all of our time and resources to our full service model railroad store"

They still run the hobby shop:

• 810 Main St
  Grandview, MO 64030
• 816-966-1534

This site has been helpful to me

in identifying what I have and what's available;

http://www.hobeercars.com/mainpages/manufacturers.html

On that site it says Greenway has produced 105 cars, since I think it's more like 120, here's their link too.

Argyll Brewing Company was the name of my home brewing endevers and the name of a brewery on my layout.  This is the complete operational roster

Well, maybe that's an exaggeration of the cool factor.

If taking a look on the other side of the pond, many beer cars are in the catalogues of the

manufacturers  i.e. http://www.roco.cc, http://www.brawa.de, or http://www.piko.de.

Here is an old one  I still have from Jouef, dating back to my European style model railroading.
