Who made these? The 2 cars are wood. The Trains car has plastic sprung trucks and hatches on roof open. Needs a weight plate. " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

That mow car looks like a Central Valley. Check the bottom of the trucks. If they have Central Valley on them, then it is probably a Central Valley kit.

Green boom car/work caboose is not the Silver Streak car, most likely is a kitbash. Several companies made very similar lines of wood kits for maintenance cars decades ago and many are difficult to distinguish.
Red bay window work caboose is the Silver Streak car. This kit was originally produced by LW Models and A-C in the 40s, and retooled in plastic by Tru-Scale in the 60s. It's easy to identify by the bay window castings and the doors, parts not shared with any other kit manufacturers.
