Marx Trains did quite a few TCA convention cars. My favorite is the SPFE car, maybe because I'm president of that division 
Of these, the passenger cars are the easiest to find, followed by the hoppers. The rest area tough search.

i know these grab irons are merely painted on a 2D surface, but my eye doesn't want to believe it.
New Marx had some great car designs, but the missing trompe l'oeil artwork of original Marx made the cars seem lifeless,

I ordered those Ma & Pa cars with tilt, fork couplers. ..got tab and slot (not desired) and never again pursued New Marx.

Colorado, I'd be happy to convert those for you.

Boy, how close is the Northwestern livestock car to the punched boxcars that Joe's trains did? They look like sisters.
