 I think that roller bearing trucks of different capacities look the  same.
What makes them visually different is their wheel diameters:

That's pretty much true, except the wheelbase (distance from axle to axle)
is also longer for heavier-capacity cars.  The best I can measure an Ace RB
truck, the wheel base seems to be 5' 10", which would make it, with 36 inch
wheels, a 100 ton truck.  .
