The HO version is presumably the former E&C/etc. car, don't recall if Fred Becker ever offered this car in N....

Will take a few  wonder whats the era on these I see early seventies built date on one. Also how many roads had them?

Are the Trainworx corrugated gondolas a different prototype?

Yes the Trainworx gondola is a Thrall prototype while the former Huberts car is obviously a Greenville prototype.

Main differences are:
- The ends
- Number of panels (15 vs 14)
- Fishbelly vs straight sill
- Ladders vs Grab irons

I believe both prototypes had variations in which panels had congregations.

MP had cars built by Greenville, also some similar cars built by CNCF

UP built their own cars (and covers)  The HO cover previously offered by Huberts was based on an IC cover rather than UP...

CNCF also built similar cars for N de M and GBW in addition to MP

You just gave me an idea 

Huberts HO gondola cover:

Assuming the offer the same cover in N, here's a prototype IC gondola cover on an IC gondola that looks more like Trainworx Thrall gondola without corrugations than the Intermountain Greenville gondola with corrugations...
