Re: is there a prototype for the paint scheme on the Carnation reefer?

Actually Claus, your photo showing Carnation cars is taken at a different plant in a different state. Your photo is labeled as Berlin Wisconsin, the photo I linked is Oregon Illinois. Pacific Coast Condensed Milk had numerous plants around the country. It was actually started in the state of Washington in 1899 by EA Stuart. The name was changed to Carnation at a later time, but I suspect the lettering painted on buildings stayed for some time.
Here are a couple of links with information about the company.

Hi List Members,
Thanks everyone for letting me know I'm having a bad link day... sigh.
Perhaps we can try this without links - I will attach the images instead.
Attached are images of...
* the Athearn model
* Carnation prototype wood reefers - note the prototype image was taken at the same location as the photo linked by Doug Harding, but it is a different photo than Doug's showing the plant from a different vantage point.
* the drawing from Burlington Bulletin 28 page 26
