This looks like an interesting set, Anyone have info as to scale or not scale? Looks like it may be a limited run set as well.

I have those cars. A special offering form the LCCA, I think.
No where close to scale. A scale 737 fuselage is over 30" long.

How is it to run? Does it look silly next to scale cars or does the set need to be run with more than one fuselage car to look accurate? I was watching YouTube vids of the real bnsf trains. Looks pretty kick *** when the fuselages are green like the videos.
I have a couple sets, they were offered by the TCA Northwest division about 10 years or so ago. I run them on 072 curves so no issues with overhang.
Never considered the scale aspect. They run fine here on 42 inched curves.

Yes, they were a K-Line custom run from Pacific NW Division of TCA.
Definitely not scale.... I believe the prototype cars are 89 foot flats on which the fuselage is mounted. The trailing or "idler" car length can be 60 feet or 89 feet, with the longer car required for the 737-800 and 737-900 models.
How long are the cars? Are they made to go with other scale/standard o rolling stock?

I'd also like to know the length of the fuselage on the Kline ? A scale 737 would be from 25.5" (102') to 34.5" (138') I happen to have 2 atlas 89'4" flats I'm not using so maybe I could make this car. eBay has fuselages from resin or plastic kits for about 150 bucks. The cargo carriers could be glassed over AB foam and shaped ( like a surfboard )
Do a "Search". This has been discussed before.
Don't just guess on the story of these cars.
