How come a 50' boxcar and a 40" woodside reefer both measure 8 3/8" ?

And need different radius track?

The waffle sided boxcar was first offered in 2014 and the fact that it's not a 50' car has been a major complaint.  There are some similar 40' prototypes, but they're pretty rare:

40' Waffle AW&P 3826040' Waffle GN 428640' Waffle SCL 12604 1984

*Well, at least one of the cars offered is SCL...

...too bad it's the wrong color and number...

The Flyer car is a pretty well detailed model and had it been a 50' car, it would have interested some of the scale guys.
