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:

The SCL car is the correct color and number series.
Except SCL 80182 is a 50' sliding door/plug door boxcar, the Flyer car is 40' long similar to the pictured SCL12604.

We all know the car is the incorrect length. Your reply stated "Well, at least one of the cars offered is SCL... too bad it's the wrong color and number." They probably offered this color scheme as they already had the NS, Southern and CNW in brown/freight car red. Jim
