I think everyone has their own opinion if a non-scale car looks ok with scale cars. For me I am not that picky because on a real railroad you will see a mixture of sized cars. I will be running this car with non-scale and scale rolling stock. In picture below, this car is in between a RailKing NS boxcar and a MTH Premier Southern boxcar. The RailKing is non scale where as the Premier is scale. The car is little bit smaller in height compared to my RailKing car but the length is about the same. I paid MSRP at LHS for it which is about $74 plus tax. I saw it on Dash website yesterday for about $75 which includes the added shipping cost. I paid a few dollars more at my LHS because of the tax. Regardless, it is a nice car and I am glad I purchased it.
