I was told that this was a joint project between Stan Furmanak & Ed Loizeaux, but I am not really sure. I have seen custom made containers on cars owned by Ed L. running on his layout. If Ed L. was not moderated on this list, and he was involved in the project, I am sure he could provide the details on the project. Which brings up an interesting point, was permission was obtained from the Furmanak estate (and Ed L. if it was his project too) for the commercial use of these masters?
