Those are so pure & pristine, are they copy's of actual ads on boxcars? And is it really 50 feet tall???

RE: 50' High Roof Box Car Set,,, - Nigels - 06-20-2018

Lol! I think they mean 50' long with a high roof, but who can tell with the land where everything is large? Smile

LOL...It didn't dawn on me to read it like that haha. Didn't think there were 50' high tunnels or overpasses. Smile

Who knows? At the rate things are going, we might end up with 50 foot tall container stack trains in a few decades! I guess the greatest limiting factor is the impossibly high center of gravity. Even loading gauge ultimately wasn’t a complete obstacle with today’s double stack container well cars and three tiered auto racks. The Class 1 railroads have either rerouted or rebuilt major lines to accommodate larger freight cars.

Very colorful, I wonder if these are modeled after real ones?

I really don't know Super, being USA outline I wouldn't get to see the real things as such. But they are great looking combined with the other 4 I already had Smile
