Hi Ian, I guess it is #110. A very nice model. I think I'll try to find one or two, unless you have "vacuumed" the market. I'm a "bit behind you" to put it with an understatement in my total count of banana wagons, being at 10 % of your number and furthermore only of two types 4735.024 with marking SJ and Dole, but based on SBB wagon 4735, and 4672 with marking SJ and Chiquita. I have 3 "Dole" and 8 "Chiquita" and a couple of 47331 could be nice as well.
