Beverage Gondola for G Scale

I am new to G Gauge Garden trains. Lionel postwar O Gauge hobbyist since the 1950s.

First garden railroad now under construction in my yard.

QUESTION - over the years, have any of the G scale manufacturers made a Gondola-like open top car suitable for transporting / delivering beverages around a garden railway ?

I don't want to get in the weeds here, but I think you know what I mean.

Thanks

Is this the sort of thing you had in mind?

Definitely the idea here. A Gondola to carry 2-3 mixed drinks or beers. Don't necessarily need the cup molds as can always secure the cans or drinks inside the gondola.

Preferably with a commercial distiller name on it, or a well known road name like B&O, PRR, etc.

Thanks
Ed

Can anyone advise a historical LGB (or competitor) Model # for a "tall-wall Gondola" in G-scale?

Thanks
