Reply to "Who makes really nice ore cars?"

I have ore cars from all the manufacturers, close to a hundred now.  The late production K-line cars with die cast trucks and the current RMT cars have the best detail and are scale size.  They both sit a little high.  The early K-line cars use the same body mold but sit way too high on plastic trucks.  These were based on the 1970s Atlas ore cars, which are the only 3 rail compatible ore cars that sit at the correct height. The Lionel cars are narrower and a bit smaller, but detail is OK.  The MTH cars rate last, poor detail and sit too high.  To find anything better than the the RMT/K-Line/Atlas cars you'll have to look at 2 rail brass cars, which cost a bunch more.
