I found a picture of the 10000 series boxcar done in the State of Maine scheme.
http://users.silcon.com/~lgoss/bar10348.htm Noticed though that the prototype has 'Bangor and Aroostook', and the model has 'Bangor & Aroostook' (picture from the Grand Rapids train show). Might be an error - but still a good looking car. And for uniqueness, the MMA #1 car is a one-of (or one-off).
