Post Card: East Tennessee Packing Company (Selecto) From the Knoxville History Project website: https://knoxvillehistoryproject.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Packing-Co-PC-1024x658.jpg Caption: “Knoxville was once notable for pork, and in the season of Christmas hams, this week we’re sharing this ca. 1930 image of this once well-known South Knoxville plant. East Tennessee Packing Co. was best known for its store brand, Selecto. It was on the south side of the river, just west of Suttree Landing. Shared by Sam Furrow.” I’ve seen several models of Selecto refrigerator cars but no prototypes. The models have green sides but the reefers in the postcard have yellow sides. Does anyone have a prototype photo? Bob Chaparro

I think it is risky to trust these colorized images. Sometimes, of course, they are accurate, but I know of a number of them with wrong colors of buildings and railroad equipment. |

And I've seen two colorized versions of the same scene with different colored buildings or railroad cars. Richard Townsend

The pictures of models that I can see online show ETPX as the reporting marks (with some models having none). The Jan 1953 ORER does not list these reporting marks. Does anyone know for sure if they are correct, and if so, when did they stop using them?

Claus & Doug -
Thanks for the info. So it's safe to say EPTX was in use at least through the billboard era -- Bill Parks Cumming, GA Modelling the Seaboard Airline in Central Florida |

Hi Eric and List Members,
Apparently these are different cars than the ones they list in the Dec 1930
ORER - different road numbers, different capacity, slightly different
length...
