Big Hauler Billboard reefers

[mjltuk]

I'd like to know if the Brewery Big Hauler Billboard reefers were originally supplied with plastic wheels, please. e.g. Rampo, Riverhorse, Dogfish head type cars.

One for Loco Bill perhaps?

Dear Mike,
No, they're too recent for that. They've only had metal wheels.
Have fun!

Mr Bachmann

I bought a number of these reefers that were described as "as new Bachmann G Scale billboard reefers", with no mention of the wheels having been downgraded to plastic wheels.

Would you have a view on whether Bachmann G Scale billboard reefers with plastic wheels are "Bachmann reefers"? Could they be a copy/clone/pirated version?

Many Thanks


Mike

Mike if you bought them on Ebay or at a swap meet there is always a chance that a buyer bought the cars just to get the wheels and then put plastic wheels on them to resell after carefully repackaging the car.  If you bought them from an authorized dealer take them back and get your money back.
