Ya want da truth? I thought it was an older car that would fit the 1948-1958 era. Now that I have become educated and realize it is too new for my layout, I would still buy a couple and then resell them later. I have found that placing a large order directly with the manufacturer encourages the item to be made which it otherwise might not be. Selling things off later is not really all that hard and the end result is more things for S. Many folks like to see what they are buying and are unwilling to front the money for an unseen product to be delivered nearly a year later. I sort of look at it as simply helping those guys see what they are about to buy. So I order a few extras on their behalf. I'll still take a couple. Altho', I'd prefer an older coil car to be sure. Maybe both eras can be covered with a single coil car of some type? Maybe Bill can do a coil car with a couple of variations such as 'early style' and 'later style' which would make more folks happier overall -- especially us transition era types (of which there are many, I might add).
