Pecos River Brass freight cars

I have several Pecos River three-rail 50-foot plastic boxcars.  The quality of the detail is similar to the old Intermountain O-scale plastic boxcar kits (i.e., good but not as good as the newer 50' cars that often cost twice as much).  The trucks are similar to Atlas Master Line trucks.

Did John Smith offer freight cars and cabooses in three rail configuration?  John

Absolutely.  I have a bunch that I picked up in the early 2000's.  They are terrific.

I have some of the 50-foot double door boxcars.

However, I am not sure whether he produced 3-rail Santa Fe waycars.

The only 3 rail PRB did was the plastic 50ft boxcars. I am not aware of any brass freight cars, locomotives, and passenger cars done by PRB in 3 rail.

Pecos River did one run of ATSF Hudsons (2 versions) in 3-rail.  Those were the only 3-rail brass pieces released by them.

I really liked John’s boxcars.  Here are a few, both original and my painted/decaled versions:  

Did any remaining importers/mfgs buy out PRB double doorboxcar molds?

I also really like the PRB plastic boxcars. I was working some for John at the time he imported those, and have almost one of every double door boxcar that he imported. Still some of my favorite cars. It seems like there was a single door car, or two, but I would have to unbox my stash and check on that.

I have one.  She’s nice.

thanks!
