Revisiting my version of WECX 200 (as seen here: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=54890.msg753052#msg753052) is on the to-do, but I'm afraid it's a ways below the present 100 ton in priority. I intend to re-examine how I designed the end platforms with an eye towards including more metal to make the car more stable when loaded and see if I can improve the overall design with features learned from the 100 ton project (which, oddly, is my first car design... WECX 200 is the second). As is, the transformer load when combined with the pivot points of the trusses cause the outer trucks to be quite light on the rails. I also need to add features to make a 1980s version for export to a Kansas City area layout. One concession I had to make was the model sits higher than desired due to use of MTL Buckeye trucks and their design. I misremember, and am too lazy to sort through posts: you have a 3d printer?
Same vendor you posted a link for also has one on FeeBay in N https://www.ebay.com/itm/186255073894I also did a layup for the F-34, but there was not a huge demand then so I never took it to production.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but N Scale Kits has a more modern (and longer) version of the 4 truck flatcar-http://nscalekits.co.uk/qttx55flat.html
