You are correct “Pacific Traction” at
least I got half of the name correct. Thanks

RTR cars
There was Pacific Traction {wood/painted/lettered/many roads)
freight cars, produced I believe by a doctor, as patient therapy, in
San Diego......The cars were less trucks and couplers and I have a bunch still
in their plastic bag..........They did both standard and narrow gauge cars and
primarily distributed on the west coast and very nice for the
70's..........Once/twice a year I see some on ebay......Best, Jim W.

You might be thinking
about “Pacific HO” out of San Diego they did produce wood cars like you
describe that we very close to an SP 1 ½ single sheathed boxcar. My
recollection was that you had to decal them yourself.

I
dimly recall that a company advertised in Model Railroader early in the 1970s
as selling RTR (no trucks) painted and lettered wood freight cars. Does
anyone recall the name of the company and more importantly, if they every
produced any such cars? I was in college at the time and could not
determine a way that they could make money.
