Who can help me out?  What is the model of the prototype?  On which railroads did it run?  And what would be the proper text on the sides to use?

I would appreciate the help.

Thanks for the info.  It is correct that this model was brought over to Europe, but according to someone, these flat cars came orgianlly from North America - aorund WWII time.  Oh well, too bad.  The legnth on the photo indicated a proportion of a 40' car, as far as I know there are no 40" low sided gondolas on the RhB, they are all shorter and 2 axle only.

I will keep on searching.
