    Years ago, the Canadian National painted three boxcars and one covered hopper into promotional paint schemes advertising various products that they ship. To my knowledge, Micro Trains did two of the three boxcars, which I'm calling simply the Apple car and the Newspaper car for obvious reasons. In real life, there was also a Cow car. Has the Cow car ever been offered by either Micro Trains or by anyone else? If not, and if someone at Micro Trains happens to see this, I would like to suggest it as being a future release. Thanks for your time!

    I have no idea...
    But, looking at your picture it looks like an easy DIY decals project.

    Any body style MTL would have available for the cow car would have to be a "stand in." There might be other importers who have a closer car, but nothing comes to mind that's that close of a match. (Your mileage may vary.)
