They are beautiful that's for sure and I got them at a bargain price.  HO scale is what 1/87 if I recall correctly?  If so they would work out to be around 72 feet long based on the model being around 10" long.  So definitely a great long car for sure.  It's not a container carrier either, its described as a 'sliding wall wagon', so presumably has side panels that slide to give access to the internal storage of the cars.

They are a bit odd in general though as Rivarossi is (or should that be was?) an Italian manufacturer, which has since been bought by Hornby, yet these wagons despite being HO gauge - which fits with the Italian heritage - are carrying an English brand of cider (that is an alcoholic apple juice as I think you refer to that as a 'hard cider' in the USA).  Of course the branding on the side could be due to the change of ownership of the brand, but then if they are going to go English you'd expect them to have sized it up to OO to appeal  to  their normal UK customers.

Not that I particularly mind, the difference in HO and OO is not so great that they look weird when mixed, in fact I've often used HO rolling stock with OO gauge loco's, after all its boring to stick to 'prototype' trains isn't it Smile
