From: Alan Lambert You still could double stack containers on them. I got the long and short containers and stack the longer ones on top of the short ones. They work that way on my standard curves but I am going to a wider raidius so they will look right, less overhang. Mine are Burlington Northern. Don't know how many they produced being a modern era car, not seeing any of them in the 50's or steam era.I know they are different and that would be a good car for Jim to produce for the modern era, like the ones you mean. The ones that are splined together and 2 cars make up one total car. I see them all the time. just saw a string of empties pulled by one BNSF loco yesterday. That would be a car I would like to see in S. Alan

There IS a difference. How many of these were produced and in what schemes and road numbers?
