Here's the Red Caboose version - I picked up four of them, as undecorated kits, for about twenty bucks - somebody must've ordered them, and became frightened when they realised they'd have to assemble them, as the normal price around here was $35.00-$40.00 each. At five bucks apiece, they weren't much more than the $2.98 cost of the C-D-S lettering.

I like the looks of Matt's cars even better, although these were probably easier to assemble.
EDIT: I just looked at a preview before posting this, and it reminded me that these cars need to be re-painted: pre-1940, CNR open cars (gondolas, flats, and hoppers) were painted black.
