<p>[QUOTE="northernridge, post: 95296, member: 215"]I recently brought home six examples from a large collection of model trains, and having ruled one set out (The Classic Rail by Echo) have photographed the others to show here. The first, I think, is an oil tank car. It measures 10 1/2" long (from coupling to coupling) and weighs a little over a pound. Between the wheels measures 1 1/8" exactly.</p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge126/pa%20Y%20a_zpskxnufv58.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>The second Yeungling car is a boxcar. Almost 8" long, and pretty light in weight. </p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge126/pa%20Y_zpsnghaubdx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Next are two marked Lionel Lines. First is a caboose, I think. 7 1/2" long.

(This is PA's coal region, after all.) It's 8 3/4" long and weighs more than the previous two: over 10 ounces. </p><p><img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e28/northernridge/northernridge126/pa%20LL%20a_zpsjq1b9w1k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Finally, a caboose-looking car marked SEABOARD, but also LIONEL.
