Bernhard, while I was looking for an old kit, for an earlier post here today, I found a Main Line Models wood kit for a 36' "Private Owner Reefer"- - - - - DECKER MEAT !!!
The Iowa state "map" is Red on this car, instead of the black on yours.......and, are you ready for this?....it's lettered,
DMRL 2532 ! :o
I thought those cars looked familiar.

Sumpter, thanks.
Yes, you are right! I have found also cars models with the red (Roundhouse) and black Iowa map (Athearn also, Atlas) and both are numbered with 2532 also. And I have seen also the Main Line models Decker reefer with the red label.
The big question - what is correct?
The models are in detailing process and my friend and I had an opinion that only corrections to the damaged paint is to do. We definitely wanted no repainting. If we could find a clear statement that the Iowa state sign was in original a red label than we should think about changing it. But without an absolutely clear proof? But maybe we get an answer even here in the forum? Thanks in advance!
