Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society Utility Car

Does anyone know of a coach that would best match the FWRRHS' utility pulled by NKP 765?
And would anyone please consider making this?

As far as I'm aware this car is like 765's second tender, it's always with it.

I really like the idea. Maybe throw in the possibility of the N&W water tenders as well?

Also that train car is essentially a rolling workshop. You can't exactly go order parts on a type of machine like 765 so that car is fully rigged with generators and metal working equipment to attempt to repair whatever breaks as they get further out from Fort Wayne.

The only car I can find is this express car from BLLW. It's the only one with a center door. Anybody spot anything else?

The only other car I can think of with a single door is the Amtrak baggage car included with Miami - West Palm Beach, but it's way out of dimensions compared to the FWRRHS's car.

The car in the photos looks like a converted B-unit. Looks like the one that was around with the Ski Train. Either an Alco FB or a PB with four axle trucks. Also could be a heavily modified Pullman Troop Sleeper

According to the FWRHS Website:

#701 Was Built by the St. Louis Car Company for the US Army in 1953 as a kitchen car, it was stored for over twenty years before being acquired by the Kentucky Railroad Museum and used as a concession car. In 1979, it was utilized on the 765’s first excursions to Argos, Indiana in July, 1980. It has been converted into a tool car for use on excursions with the 765. Changes include a generator, workbenches, tool cabinets, welder, steam locomotive servicing equipment and supplies, and some seating.

I could easily model this. but im still not good at the scripting part of railworks yet.
I actually even have blueprints for a car like this. if anyone could help me to get it work in game i could take a crack at it.
