I was looking at an older Mainline Modeller recently and they mentioned two O scale resin carbodies from a Cameron Scale Models...the cars were a Burlington 50' door and 1/2 single sheethed autobox and a Western Pacific double door single sheathed autobox...I'm pretty sure that Rails Unlimited offers the same cars -- did Cameron become Rails Unlimited? Just curiosity...

Here is an example of a Cameron 50' Reefer. A friend of mine is pretty knowledgable about these, I'll see if he has an answer for you.

He made some superior models at one time. I have a PFE reefer with Bohen hatches that he built and painted and a UP prototype flat car in all brass except the deck which was real wood. Wish he was still making models Ed

I believe Cameron was a producer of his own kits, some of the early Des Plaines kits and likely some of Rails Unlimited cars. Rails Unlimited has gone elsewhere for castings and Des Plaines stopped all urethane kits years ago.

Checked the East Penn site and found no reference to Cameron.A Cameron Illinois Terminal reefer trailer was sold on E-Bay within the last few months.What else did they make in the traction line?
