This is a novelty Christmas scheme created by Bachmann, not a prototype railroad livery; it is intended for holiday layouts, under-the-tree displays and gift giving. The car body itself follows the genuine AAR standard 40' design that was the workhorse of American railroading, economically moving dry goods and bulk freight.
