2 rail engineered models have a tendency to look this way.
3 rail models built to run on 2 rail to a degree despite being very well done still have high water pants, oversize detail, wide tread wheels etc. The Piggyback car is a Lionel! A 3 rail car - designed as such but converted. The water bottle is an OMI brass 2 rail 1:48 model with O5W wheels. The Key Imports beauty ahead of it; its in a class by itself, not a 3 rail model made to run on 2 rail. From down low and the right light they do look real. That is after all the objective of our end of the hobby. Thank you for the compliments I will pass them on to Bob Meyer.
