True......the Menard's box car is a scale 3 inches to tall.......I'm willing to accept this very minor flaw to get a X-29 for 1/3 the price of 'scale' box. Add to it not a single visitor has called me out as they roll by on the layout!!!! Scale?? we do run on 3 rail track....so 1/8 inch here and there?? not a factor FOR ME.....to each his own...that's why Lionel sells $80 box cars.
