I forgot about the Atlas cars. Modern P:48 is tough to do due to the scarcity of roller bearing trucks. However, there are a couple of guys on Shapeways who have 3D printed parts (truck bolsters) which will convert Atlas 2R or 3R trucks to P:48 width. Norm Buchart at Protocraft is having some 70T RB trucks cast up in brass and are due later this summer or fall.
The Yahoo P:48 group is owned by Gene Deimling and is fairly active; he just moved it from Yahoo to Groups IO. Here’s a link if you are interested in joining https://groups.io/g/proto48

If you are interested in any of the above cars, let me know as I have several that I am not using as they are too modern for my era.
