Another mystery is what happened to all of the tooling that was used to make Bill Bensons Right of Way Industries products? They made some beautiful passenger cars, trains and accessories in their day.

Well Most of the ROWI items were brass with some exceptions.

IT appears that MTH picked up the signals.
Ross has the Trackwork tooling and has thankfully upgraded that product
Weaver and now MTH has the 20' containers.
passenger cars were plastic
I don't think the molds for the metal Ft's were ever made and hence was the downfall of Rowi.

I have no Idea what happened to the double stack tooling as well as the following mass produced items:

3 bay offset hopper cars
50' flats for farm tractors
stock cars

[The above 3 could have been subcontracted from Weaver models since they look very similar]

40' containers for their double stack cars
