Thanks Doug.
I thought they might have been an OEM since the Rowa cars have the
same metal-with-one-wheel-insulated axles and wheels as used on my
Atlas cars.
Also, I believe that Con-Cor sold Rowa cars under their brand, as I
also have a set of D&H cars that came in Con-Cor boxes with the
dot-matrix printed end labels. Unfortunately I had to dispose of the
boxes as they'd been wet and smelled pretty bad. I'm surprised that no
one bought those molds when Rowa went under, they were quite detailed
for the time.
Cheers,
Martin

Rowa made their own cars until they went bankrupt. Rivarossi made all of
Atlas' passenger cars but never any for Rowa.
Those cars from the eBay auction are not Atlas. They are Rowa if they have
the Rowa trademark on them.

I was wondering, did Atlas ever OEM the Rowa cars from the early
70ies? I have a beautiful set of CP Rail cars with the red stripe in
the original Rowa boxes, and recently picked up set of silver and
black PRR cars that came without boxes, but that the eBay seller
posted as being Atlas. There is no Atlas logo on the bottom, just
"Made in Germany" and the Rowa mark.
Cheers,
Martin
