Striker Castings
Usually - at least in Standard Steel cars, they had their own patterns for cast strikers. We haven't yet scanned H&B strikers, as we've scanned very few of the H&B small drawings. The Pullman strikers

The H&B built 1910 & 1911 Mather Beef and Vegetable 37' cars appear to have been built new. They did have steel UF & framing, with sheathing, but there is no indication that the frames were not new. B

There were 36' 7" Mather Vegetable & Beef cars built by H&B. I've not looked at the Red Caboose model, but if they were "short" - shorter than the 40' cars also produced, it could be those?
