I would love to have a boxcab P5. Unfortunately, I don’t think any MTH units were produced that do not have zinc pest. The brass version was produced several years ago but it appears to have been a limited run and those who have them aren’t giving them up.

I have two MTH Boxcabs from the original run. And, a P5a modified. All three show no signs of Zinc Pest, and have been in regular use. In fact they are on the cover of the NMRA 2022 calendar:

Both Sunset and Overland made P5a Box cabs and Modifieds in brass. As Bob said, the Sunsets were available in 2 and 3 rail. Overland 2 rail only.
