Many models of PS-1s have been produced. Perhaps the best (HO) ones are the Kadee and Intermountain, both of which have produced B&M decorated cars, although I don't have details right now. Be careful (particularly) with the door sizes/types and the 6 indentations at the peak of the ends.
As Kadee releases the B&M cars in small batches, there may be others I don't show below

B&M Roster Info
Details on this car seriesCon-Cor also has a 40' (I think) PS-1 model (look on their web site under "HO - kits") of unknown accuracy for the B&M (none are decorated for the B&M). Make sure you look at the "regular" door ones, not the "insulated - plug door" ones. Still available as of Dec-2020
Per B&MRRHS Modelers Notes #24 (Jan, 1992) Weaver had an O scale PS-1 available. Unknown accuracy for the B&M, unknown if any were painted for the B&M
