Not a big Bowser owner but the stuff I own and seen has the typical molded on details, like grab irons and stirrups.  I donlt think there is much underbody brake detail.  

If you're good with that kind of product then I think Bowser probably has some of the FINEST molded on details than many other producers.  Some others can look pretty blocky.

They roll fine for my needs.

Soliciting opinions: Bowser rolling stock

Looking to hear from you all.  I don't have any experience with anything Bowser but I'm looking to expand my rolling stock of 40-50' boxcars and see that they have some decent prices on various web sites.  Is their stuff good enough for those who can't pay $50 for a freight car?  I have a mixture of Athearn, Atlas, Bachmann, Walthers, and Intermountain right now.  The IM is about as much as I'm willing to pay...
