Thank you Chris. I found a layout article called Old Colony & South Shore R.R. in MR magazine. It was Oct. 2004 issue and the layout was built by Cliff Coutinho. Now let’s offer a new challenge
Well, my sources indicate that the reporting mark NWX was used by the North Western Refrigerator Line Co and its various guises from 1930 to 1984.
It would appear that the Storck Brewery brewed and labelled “Storck Club Beer” in the 1950s. (I’ve never quite got my head around when advertising on railroad freight cars was actually banned!)
Finally, this link states that this Atlas reefer car was a “fantasy scheme.” Though my observation is that these fantasy beer schemes are quite popular with some modellers in their own right.
[^o)] Hmmm, thank you but I must admit that that I’m really struggling with this car.[banghead][banghead]
What I’ve found is that Marshfield Brewing Company used “Paul Bunyan” in its logos from 1950 to 59. The Marshfield Premium Beer label on NWX 14330 appears to be from 1957.
If I am correct that Billboard advertising was banned in 1937, then my conclusion is that this is another “fantasy scheme”.
As to the manufacturer of this car, I’m at a complete loss. I thought I was on to a winner when I found this site but no! Though I do note that the last time this site was updated was back in March 2010, so…??
After spending a few coffees worth of time today comparing on line photos, I’d strongly suggest that an Accurail 4800 Series 40’ wooden reefer is the donor kit.
Cheers, the Bear.[:)]
