Nice job on that car, Empirebuilder,
and a nice background story to go with it, too.
I've always liked those Roundhouse/MDC cars, and have several, including this combine. I re-built it with a steel fishbelly underframe, instead of the truss rods:

This CNR coach retained its truss rods, although I did add some more detail to the underbody:
