A General American-style steel meat reefer would be a game changer!

If you really want to change the game, before there are any more meat reefers, how about a realistically sized meat packing plant?  Not the usual "Cornerstone" sized building, but something with some sprawl to it. 

Getting the makers of N scale buildings to take advantage of N scale's potential for realistically sized industries would be a game changer. 

And in any case, I understand from certain people in the industry that no more meat reefers will be produced until every digital caliper has been confiscated.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

But the problems you are speaking of are clearly visible with the naked eye - no measuring required.  That is why they are problems - they stand out like a sore thumb.  The caliper only aids in demonstrating the problem scientifically.  :D

Hmm... speaking of
digital calipers, the

aren't as plump as they
used to be...

Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

I'm hoping Atlas will do this one, I'll even volunteer to go measure one if drawing aren't easily obtained.

Meat reefers? Is that some new thing in Colorado?  :facepalm:

Go buy some refrigerated containers and put them on your stack train...

My expectations are so low I can't possibly be disappointed!  :D

I stand by my guess of big blows in runner/rivet counter versions...

From today's newsletter:

"On July 1st, we'll unveil our "game changing" N scale locomotive with a decorated operating model at the National N Scale Convention in Kansas City.  This will be the first N scale locomotive with factory installed grab irons.  Additional features include road number specific details, multiple body variants, DCC & sound pre-installed, and much more."

While I applaud factory-installed grab irons, my Intermountain N SD40-2W shipped with pre-installed grab irons in 2011…
