There is problem why they may not do (or have not done) the mineral red 
cars. The Q cars had a unique roof hatch spacing that differed from the 
common P-S covered hopper arrangement. The CB&Q cars were among the 
first built by P-S. You would probably have more success trying to get 
Walthers to do them with their version as they are not as picky. Take a 
look at an article by Ed Hawkins in Rail Model Journal in September 
2005. These back issues are available for viewing on the TrainLife site.
