On30 Scale
The Leetonia Railway, a Pennsylvania logging outfit, operated a fleet of these unique cars to haul Hemlock bark to tanneries in the early 1900s. When the short bark harvesting season was over, the slatted bodies were removed so that Barnhart loaders could traverse the cars during logging operations. While no photos have surfaced, I suspect these bodies could haul pulpwood, too.
