Hello, all-

What information is available for the Reading's 40' plug-door MRBX orange boxcars? I've read that they were assigned to Campbell Soup in Camden, but I've also read that they were used to transport Hershey's chocolate.

Thanks.

HI Norm...
I too am interested, having just completed 4 more of these in HO. I was extremely lucky and found 4 sets of decals on ebay a few months ago!
Rob Hinkle (do not remember his login in here) is working on lots of Hershey info... hoping he will share that with us at a future RDG Modelers Meet.
Thanks,
Barry
