Looks good Bob. I have one waiting it's turn for scale treatment. It appears fairly close to the Harriman design stock cars. Given I model an industrial branch line in NJ, the demand for stock cars is low.
As to having Marx make S, K-Line had the old Marx tooling and did put hi-rail S trucks and couplers on some cars. I don't think they ever did the stock car. I only recall a boxcar and three dome tank being offered in S (and Lionel used their more recent Big Boy tooling).
