This 40’ Wood-Sheathed Reefer is painted red with yellow lettering and runs on Bettendorf trucks. This colorful billboard scheme painted by Curtiss Candy Company promoted their Baby Ruth Candy brands. It is similar to another Baby Ruth scheme, but does not have the words “Good Candy”. Baby Ruth was acquired by Nabisco in 1981 and then Nabisco sold their Curtiss brands to Nestlé in 1990.

This summer will mark the beginning of our newest series featuring 7 prototypical Baby Ruth freight cars from the 1920’s and early 30’s. This series will consist of six colorful billboard reefers and one tank car, all displaying elaborate ads for Baby Ruth which was owned then by Curtiss Candy Company. Baby Ruth was acquired by Nabisco in 1981 and Nabisco sold the Curtiss brands to Nestlé in 1990. N scale reefers will be released in 36’ or 40’ lengths with proper fi shbelly or truss-rod underframes according to the original reefer.
