Who makes this coil car?

I was watching a video of last year's Altoona meet by our very own @vermonter_railfan and noticed the GATX coil car in this screen shot:



Who makes this car?  3-d printed?  There is a decent chance it belongs to one of the members here.  TIA.

BaldyloxDesigns, you have seen a number of his products in the modelling of Railwire Member jpwisc.

Edit: mu26aeh beat me to it, posted as I was typing.

Thank you gents.  It looks like a nice print.

I did submit a request to Rapido a few months ago to consider offering their upcoming model in N as well.

A gentleman I know is basically the source of the drawings for that Gunderson car for Rapido. He told me that supposedly they will make them at some point. I think they're waiting to see how the reefers do first.

But you are correct, that is the one that I custom painted which is one from Baldylox.
