marksrailroad I've seen the car in HO but it was a 36' and not a 40' like mine. Oh well. I guess it's all about having fun and not being prototypically correct...

One can do both--just remove the "freelance" cars whenever proto-icity is desired.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.
I don't have a leg to stand on.
I checked the historical reporting marks website and CKKX did exist in 1935 and belonged to the Columbia Conserve Co.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!

I find no CKKX reporting marks nor Columbia Soup in ORER's from 1926, 1939 and 1947.
Checked 1901, 1903, 1905 - not found
...and the Columbia Conserve Company did exist in Indianapolis:
So far I haven't come across any photos and my earliest equipment register is from the same year CKKX went out of business.
Good Luck, Ed
Don't know, but Lionel (O), MTH (O), American Flyer (S), Roundhouse (HO), Atlas (O), K-Line (O) and USA Trains (G) all produced models.
Hello one and all. Can someone out there tell me whether or not there was ever such a thing as a Columbia soup reefer?. The reason I ask is because I recently purchased one off of ebay and am now wondering if there was actually ever such a car... Thanks in advance for any help with this.
