Yes.  @altohorn25 is kitbashing the train, and I believe printing a few of the cars.  I'm following the thread with interest, but given my schedule and my enormous "to do" list, which is dominated by things that have nothing whatsoever to do with model trains, it's unlikely that I'll be taking on such a project.
The ConCor cars have a reasonable facsimile of the paint scheme, and are in the close enough is good enough column.

Right you are...  Nate is building cars for the Columbian.  It's highlighted in this week's weekend update (8/31)

Plus they are certifiably pure untouched retro.

I'm happy to report that the answer to the initial question here is a resounding yes.


My gratitude for the information provided and assistance rendered is surpassed only by the joy I have running this train.
The only regret I have here is that I shot a good deal of footage with the phone in portrait mode that ended up sideways.  If I can figure out how to fix that, I'll splice it in for a release of a "director's cut".

Thanks again, Hive Mind!
