SOO Line Covered Hopper

Hi
I have a damaged grey covered hopper SOO LINE # 121817 with the Canadian Pacific beaver herald on it .
The car took a bad plunge to the floor and the end where there is no brake wheel was damaged .
I tried to get parts from IM , they sent me what I needed but it looks like the car was not made by them , the parts are not the same ... shame on me .
By any chance is there somebody that have the same car that could tell me by who it was made ?
Thanks
Thanks ,
Louis

Sounds like it is Micro Trains. Maybe this one:

If not I think Exactrail released this scheme on their Trinity 3-bays.

OMG, the photographer should be smacked for taking a promo shot of a model with such a bow in its roof.
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

If I remember correctly the MTL car is a foobie.The CP cars are Trinitys while MTL used their ACF Center-Flo.

Actually, the car number on the MTL car matches what should be an NSC car.

CP did have Trinity cars as well, and the Intermountain car # is correct for that.
