Hello Kurt,
excellent question! There is no commercial model of that car, at least I dont know one. I knew the inside length of the car and I have found a picture where it sits in a yard coupled to another class of SP Woodchip Gons. The other Gon is marked "Excess Heigth" and has that white stripe at its ends. My car just reaches the white stripe of the other car. So I took one of my commercial "excess height" models and measured how high that stripe is above rails.
