Interesting, CP had a sister car, D&H 16157 (blt 5-61), stored on a siding in Skiff AB with other old equipment for possible donation years ago, but it might not have been spoken for when CP went to clean house.

I think that specific scale test car was one of the ex-Milwaukee Road ones CP acquired.
