PRRronph: you are wrong about the Lionel milk cars being too short. Milk cars commonly were built in both 40' or 50' lengths; the Lionel cars are meant to be 40-footers. With a body length of 10 1/2" they are pretty much right on. Before World War II, some railroad-owned milk cars were 36' long, such as the earlier Maine Central Dairy Products cars.
