No, to further confuse the nomenclature, what you are talking about was an offshoot of Intermountain Models, and the IMWX business was INNOVATIVE Model Works, and while I cannot speak for what they did in HO, their O scale offerings were different lettering schemes of the Intermountain cars (I still have at least half a dozen on the shelf) before I/M sold their O scale dies to Atlas. Red Caboose was a mostly-independent business owned by Bill McClung, although connected to I/M apparently for developing dies and perhaps actually manufacturing (injection-molding machines being expensive and benefiting from greater utilization).
If I recall correctly, the caboose in question was not the ATSF (e.g., Lionel trainset kind) steel end cupola caboose but a center cupola steel on the order of the "Northeastern" (i.e., Reading/LV/WM). In any event, I think we are agreed that the "I" is for Industrial.
