AJCC models

I've just picked up four mystery boxcars as part of a bigger job lot.
They are branded AJCC and described as 50' double door boxcars.
All are blue with the Chessie Cat - two marked for C&O and two for B&O.
They have metal underframes so I'm thinking MDC Roundhouse.
I was wondering if anyone can confirm that and also roughly what year they were released?
Any additional info much appreciated.

 Bugger me - I've just found another three. Look like McHenry couplers so guessing Athearn, but Roundhouse tooling?

Looks like it could be this-

The graphics say "coming soon", but maybe their first production run is a bit ahead of their website? (which is still HTTP).  Or maybe they never got started and sold off the early inventory?

From the limited pics, looks like either a company doing custom runs, or maybe producing from old Athearn/MDC tooling. Definitely a Chinese factory- one of their "patriotic" cars is lettered "ENVEST in America"

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

I bought some of those 50ft boxcars (various road names) aboutb4 or 5 years ago online. Yes, they are rebranded Roundhouse cars. Mine had Accumate couplers.

Thanks for the replies. Yes indeed it would appear to be the 'company' shown in the first link.
