I just noticed on eBay someone has listed what's supposedly a "prototype" or pre-production engineering sample of the Johnny Cash boxcar that ends today. It comprises of an approval tag and just the boxcar body and doors; no frame, trucks, brakewheel, or the plastic upper door guides. The doors are silver instead of black, which I suppose is plausible as a pre-production prototype or paint/decoration sample; seller claims to have bought it from a former Lionel employee. Don't know if it's legit or not but find it passively interesting.
