Beeman's Railcraft. This is a scan from the Railcraft section of a pre-ware Model Railroad Shop (Dunellen, NJ) catalog.

Your model is as nice as any I have seen of these. They are tinplate and most you see have a good amount of corrosion.

I have one of those. I shot it with red lead to inhibit corrosion.

I have a kit, actually I have 3 of them. One has Railcraft decals and a picture (and a blueprint dated 1940). Bob, do you want to make your decals as a copy of the Railcraft decals, or are you going for accuracy to the prototype? I will loan you whatever you want, Rufus, we can talk. Also, I would like to see the Ebay listing. Does anyone have pictures of the prototype?

Thanks for posting up all the photos and information!

Stephen will have to provide a scan of the decals..........I'd like that as well. And, if you are going to make or get some made, I'd be interested in acquiring a set or 2.

I really like this one. Concentration...remote shutter...and ignoring the viewfinder completely.
Maybe that's part of the concentration....
