Pola made the tools, with one-piece Bettendorf-style trucks, 'scale size' plastic/metal axle wheelsets and horn-hook (like some HO) couplers.  At first Rivarossi / AHM marketed in Europe and USA and they worked fine on 2-rail.  There have been comments over the years on the models' slightly smaller size and FWIW I've always had a sneaky feeling that the boxcar ends have a flavour of South American or Canadian prototype?

The replacement 3-rail truck sideframes shown have the bolster ends visible, don't know if or why the manufacturer (K-line??) had to do that.  Some other 3-rail cars had this style too.
