N.O.R.X. / Nipsco O Gauge/Scale Hopper?

Hi all,

Some time (years) ago, I was on vacation and was waiting for a coal train of NORX hopper cars (with the yellow ends) and was struck by the meatball design.

I've done some research and found out that MTH in 2016 catalogued a "Coalporter Hopper Car - Northern Indiana Public Service (NORX)" (sku 507-2097831) but I have not found them anywhere.  I/we recently (2020) got back into the O-gauge train hobby, and have desired purchasing one of these "meatball" hoppers for some time.

Does anyone know if these were ever made?  I called PWRS but they had none. (Are links to train stores allowed? If so, I could post a picture of this car)

If anyone has any, would they please post a picture of it?

Did any other manufacturers make one of these NORX hoppers?  Are there any other types of cars with this roadname?

If allowed (I don't know, but didn't see anything clearly banning it), could someone link a store where I could purchase them?

Thanks all.

(This is my first topic and I'm really hoping I understood and am following the rules correctly. )

Micro.
