Those look like some pretty fair components Ken; not a bunch of glue smears, and pretty straight cuts. I'm not knowledgeable enough to guess at a kit manufacturer. Interesting way to maybe build a crane on that first photo.

IMHO they look like kitbashed mow cars that started out as Silver Streak kits that got parted out. None of them are stock kits built as intended. The boxcar is custom too but probably started as a Silver Streak or Main Line car. Don't recall who made the yellow version of the GN circus boxcars. My guesses are: the first one looks like it would have been either a derrick or some kind of spreader, the third one looks like a pay car, and the last one might have been a weed sprayer car.
