Re: C&NW wood reefer
The reason we chose the 1927 version is that ladders were used instead of just hand grabs. I¡¯m guessing someone figured out that the ice reefers were loosing cold by the through bolted fasteners for handgrabs. for 7 handgrabs, 14 steel threaded rods were needed, for 7 rungs of a ladder only 6. So multiply by 4, that might have been a big difference. If you want Further back, exchange the fishbelly centersill for trussrods.

Re: C&NW wood reefer
I'm not certain of backdating them, but there is a Cyc or another similar manual showing photos of those cars in several billboard schemes.? Since the laws had changed about advertising on the car sides that might have affected their time period.? However it's possible the schemes were dedicated only to those particular clients.

.? This could be devoted to eggs (wonder what the price was then?) while another was a creamery that was semi localized in the Dakotas.? I feel it was a billboard advertising, since a 40' car of eggs or cheese from a localized source would be difficult to justify in such a remotely populated area. I own three of the Green/Yellow schemes from the last era and a single of the earlier gray--a second one was dedicated or assigned to that client. After seeing those photos, I sold the one with the private lettering so as not to bring in the prototype police; since I model from the mid 40's!
