Anyone make an O scale Trinity Rail 42 foot gondola?

 

This 42 foot gondola would make a nice string of gondola cars compatible with smaller radius tracks and smaller engines.

 

The prototype for this rail car is made by Trinity Rail. According to the web page the car is optimized for aggregate loading.

 

Attached is the Trinity Rail web page for this car.

 

If no commercial scale model is made I intend to scratchbuild about 3 of these cars.

 

Note: Also attached is a photo of a similar NSC 42 foot gondola.
