Karusu, I don't believe the reefers or gondolas were renumbered--at least not the ones that survive today. The long reefers were built in 1924 ((150-161) or 1926 (162-169). The short reefers, 32-81, were built in 1908 and rebuilt in 1926. The year of construction of the gondolas depends on the class. Your work would be greatly aided by obtaining a copy of Robert E. Sloan's A Century + Ten of D&RGW Narrow Gauge Freight Cars, 1871-1981.
