Zoom in on the logo on the right.

It's a "convention car", sold or given out at an NMRA convention/event.

Let's provide a topic for everyone who has too much free time.

Do you know what the next model is?

Thanks for the replies, maxman and JaBear.

I didn't know anything about "Paul Bunyan", so this is very useful idea.

Accurail 4800s and 4900s wooden reefers are indistinguishable.

The original box is missing and I believe it's Accurail/Branchline.

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.
