CNW "Christmas" semitrailer

Announcement in my inbox: "Trainworx is pleased to announce the Chicago and North Western Holiday trailer in N Scale.  This project has been done in cooperation with the Chicago and North Western Historical Society to replicate trailer CNWZ 203881 built in the mid 1970s."

I can't find anything on this trailer in my usual sites.  Does anyone here have a more specific date?  I model 1974, which would be "the mid 1970s", but so would 75, 76, and possibly 77...  As it is a limited run, and I don't model the C&NW, there's no point in my buying one if it's out of my era.  Let someone who can use it have it.

    N,
     if You like the Trailer,,get it !!
   trailers could show up anywhere, so its plausible to run it now
   and then.
    its Odd they don't give some background history of the Trailer.
   but can recall C&NW Falcon trailers on EL .
   one time had the Front Range Santa Fe"Denver Big Lift" trailer
  and stripped it thinking they were common and easy to refind.
   never have seen another one for sale, but they do show up in
  layout pics now and then.
    sometimes one makes the wrong choice !!

I know it could show up anywhere, and I have several of his earlier C&NW trailers.  They weren't uncommon in the Northwest.  I like this one, but not enough to spend money on it if it isn't in my era.  I'll save my limited funds for the next trailer that is, and let someone who really wants this have it.
