Model Power(?) Dentyne reefer.



The only thing printed on the underframe is Yugoslavia, no manufacturer names, logos or anything. This car is the same height as a boxcar, unlike most normal reefers which have a slightly lower roof as seen in Chops124's photo.

Mike, you just keep pulling these unusual pieces out of your magician
hat! I gather this is a car carrier? Or a double deck stock car. I feel
bad for the stock on the lower tier- sort of like the proverbial
two story outhouse.

According to this page, the model is a shortened version of a Southern Pacific 70-foot stock car:

My COTW is a little 0-4-0 logging caboose I picked up as part of a small lot this past weekend. Sorry for the blurry listing photos.. It is not here yet.

Agreed, and as far as I can tell, they never offered the model in Southern Pacific, only fantasy paint schemes
