Hi, The discussion on K-Line cars is very interesting but leaves more questions than answers. Why is 3/16 tooling from K-Line not S gauge? Interestingly enough, S-Gaugain in their May/June 2003 issue details the source of the tank car that AF based their car on. It appears that the AF tank car was a bit of a mistake and came out 12% oversize for S scale. So comparing to AF is not much good here. I have the K-Line Penn Salt car which is very colorful and has sprung trucks which I did not get on any of my Lionel cars at twice the price. I, for one, am happy to see more manufacturers get on the S gauge train. It is nice to have train cars that the grandkids can play with. Hopefully the success of this will cause K-Line and others to bring out more product to round out an entry level train set much needed in S and that the pressure of entry-level competition will cause Lionel to lower prices to compete or start producing train cars which are worth what they are charging.
