Great news, I'm a late bloomer regarding the GN Cascadian Rte. and was happily surprised to find a great dairy complex at Monroe - the Carnation Corporation (before being absorbed by Nestle),
Yet the dairy seemed a bit quiet, thus I let loose my imagination and have in my production line 2 well needed vehicles
1. A flatbed milk tank truck in flamboyant ­''Carnation Red'' (with little flexibility re. texturing)
2. Three Aero-van trailers with, for each, a distinct Carnation company markings.

They make an interesting addition to my Carnation wooden reefers already in the RWA Library (Great Northerner - GNRy).

As a preview here, here ...

Beautiful. I love this kind of attention to detail, and as an avid milk drinker (about a gallon a day when out on a train or restoration project) I always enjoy a good dairy. This looks very nice, and your additions have made it feel more real, and used, not just the end of a stub, coming from a main track, not really meant for operation.

Looks good Bernard. The Carnation vehicles are a nice addition to the plant. When I was growing up in SoCal, I remember getting Carnation frozen sundaes at Dodger Stadium. It had the paper top you pealed off along with a small flat wooden spoon to eat it with. It made a good dessert after a foot long Dodger dog that was grilled... not steamed. Sorry about the culinary flashbacks.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad that a simple creation evokes flahbacks and souvenirs - that is the intent to visit a vintage landscape and with a genuine context.

I just send the Carnation Vehicles Pack, to Chacal, for the RWA Library - thus enjoy

Awesome Job! As a boy who grew-up on a Dairy Farm, it is great to see love given to Milk Producers. I don't drink coffee at all due to allergies. Every day starts with a glass of milk. Carnation was the "Cream of the Crop" (pun intended) when it came to dairies. Your attention to detail is just great. Take Care, Stefan
