RMT made a beep in 2005.
Weaver did this one in 1997. I have this thing for PS2 covered hoppers and snagged this one off eBay last week. I vaguely remember a Weaver Box Car and a tank car done earlier as well (having a senior moment). There may have been others. A new release would be great to have.
If you went on the Weaver tours you were able to buy an OGR club car I have the TOFC and the hopper
I've got that same Weaver PS-2 hopper also. I wouldn't mind a new club car.
I have a tanker.
They sent me the 1991 car for free.
That club in northern Michigan (upper peninsula) has it right when it comes to "club
cars". I would only buy one if it was of an interesting or forgotten railroad, and
reference to anything BUT that railroad was printed underneath, out of usual sight.
Everything else I carefully, with not much effort, avoid.
Here are two cars that were done by Weaver as well
top car the green one was from 1993 the white bottom car was from 1991
Seeing that 1993 car is the 24th anniversary of OGR, looks like a 50th anniversary car would be due soon. Hint Hint.
By the way, Kadee 740's and Intermountain Scale wheels are now on the PS2 hopper.

Really? You felt the need to comment on a thread specifically about cars to commemorate OGR decorated cars just to declare that you stay away from such offerings?
Anyway, back to the actual topic of the thread.
I've got the cars from October "Day before York" tours I went on that OGR ran. I've got the Weaver Hopper (2003), Reefer (2004), and Fish Belly Flat w/ crates (2008). I've also got the MTH Boxcars from the couple times I went on that tour during April York.
Unfortunately, I think it's been at least one or 2 years since OGR has organized such tours. Most of these cars do come up for sale from time to time, I believe, if you look around on-line or at train shows/meets.

LOL, seems like a very broad brush being used here.
It would be neat if there was a Premium Member car or something.
I have the covered hopper that Matt posted. I would purchase a new offering with OGR logo on it, if it were a boxcar.
I know it won't happen, but a passenger car, an OGR Club Car, would be so cool . . .
Well now...you guys have gotten my wheels turning.
An OGR Forum Commemorative Boxcar...hmmm...
Also a MTH boxcar from 2010 with the OGR magazine cover on one side and CWI (Tony Lash tour) on the other.

OGR's 50th won't be until 2019.
The OGR magazine of today traces its roots to O Scale Magazine which Vane Jones started in June of 1969. Here is the cover of Run Number 1:
