A few questions about the Bowser 70-ton offset hopper models painted and numbered for Missouri-Illinois and MP:

1. In 1964, would one still see these MP cars in the black painted, Route of Eagles scheme? Numbered in the 61000 series that Bowser offers?
2. In 1964, were the M-I cars, which Bowser has numbered in the 6200 series, still in existence as M-I cars?
3. Is the Bowser model reasonably correct for MP or M-I in the number series it offers? Or is there better out there?

Here’s a link to the Bowser page:

My 1965 ORER pdf seems to be missing the M-I pages, unfortunately, so I can’t look up anything M-I.

They have, or at least had, a boxcar red version of that car.
