I thought it was a diesel powered rail car with Budweiser ads on the side. Apparently not!

That's weird. It shows up as a box with thumbnail and link to a review of the railcar with picture in an article on Garden Railways Magazine by Mark Horovitz.
Your post was brief so just trying to help if others were interested or perhaps knew of one out there for sale.
Good luck with the hunt.
This is the only one I can presently see:

They are very finicky, you need very level (cross level) track, and they have a lot of overhang, watch clearances. Not a good loco on tight curves or for someone that has trouble keeping track level.
I used mine to test clearance on my track, lots of paint scraped off the front.

Gee, you could pick the blackberries going around the curves!

I've never seen this loco run reliably on less than 8 foot diameter curves. Forget pulling a car on R1's
I was quite surprised it managed the R1 curve..
It is not only the outside of curves. Bridges, tunnel portals, and even platform faces, can be a problem:
