In addition, these new cars have the plastic Lion Scale trucks NOT diecast as described in the catalog.
Maybe we have different definitions of "LionScale trucks". To me, LionScale trucks are only used on the Made in USA LionScale product line and are diecast. The cars being discussed in this thread are made overseas. The trucks in the picture above don't look anything like the trucks on the LionScale cars I have … different side frames, different number of springs, etc.

I believe he was expecting the previous diecast sprung truck with hidden uncoupler tab.

Guessing here. Did these come with those new 2Railer friendly unsprung trucks? (And all they did was remove the thumbtack from the coupler arm and replace it with a tab on other freight cars?) IIRC don't those have plastic pieces to prevent shorts when used on 2 Rail layouts? Many are NOT fans of those trucks it seems.
