Great pictures.
Smr trains also made the Virginia and truckee 2-6-0 locomotives. Probably the closest to the wild west scale locomotives out there due to the prototype being operated in the wild west.

Imagine my pleasant surprise to find these plans published a few years before Lionel released their General sets, the cars were obviously based on these plans and they match up almost exactly. The plans are from a 1957 copy of Rolling Stock Manual of HO And O Gauge Car Plans. It’s a really neat book.

Kits for these cars were also produced by Robico - 4 different cars in all

Wow thanks for the heads up on that, I will need to try to find some of those!

Confess that I have not seen any of these for quite a few years - seriously vintage kits that I believe also had pre-painted sides, and came with a pile of metal castings.
