Most of the "Industrial Rail" brand is repackaged Life-Like or Tyco low end rolling stock. Rather basic details molded on. Generic cars for numerous different roads. Colors and paint schemes are not always prototypical. They come with plastic wheels and talgo horn hook couplers from the factory. HOWEVER, they are usually reasonably priced (I've bought them at hobby shops for $1.99 each) and when weathered can look pretty decent. I converted a few just to practice with Kadee Couplers after cutting off the talgos. They are also good for kitbashing or making "hobo" shacks or yard offices out of. I still have about 10 left on my pike. Couple gondolas, some coal hoppers and a boxcar that doubles as a home-made track cleaning car. I also made one caboose into a yard master's office and one reefer into a engine crew shack. If I decide to model any "wreckage" these would be the cars used.
