The last sentence of the announcement says " Numerous further cars were
built for several roads that were near clones of the CLa design. "
CN (GTR) hoppers built in 1903 and 1904 were VERY close to the GLa built in
1904.

The newsletter shows a CN hopper? Rapido has always done a good job of
prototypically accurate models. It’s not flagged as ‘fantasy’, so I would
expect it’s an accurate model based on the same plan?

I have not seen any evidence of O&W hoppers in Canada. Many others though. Locomotive coal for Ontario and Montreal was imported from mines in Ohio and other eastern U.S. mining areas using a wide variety of US hoppers including PRR, N&W, L&N, C&O.
