Ken:
It is, indeed, the CBQ Freight unloading box car, no. 930. Your example is a later version, sporting the classic "Brown box" closed stirrups. The early ones have the same open stirrups as the regular box car series but they seem to have been rather quickly replaced with the far-less fragile closed design. Are your two freight handlers reposing inside? (I can't tell from the pic).

Ken:
Given what a US dollar buys these days there aren't many Tyco collect-tots stateside who wouldn't pony up "less than a dollar" for the car you purchased. I don't think there are a lot of operating cars, regardless of scale, to be had so inexpensively. Good purchase on either side of the pond.
