I was looking for another N&W "scale" 100-ton car and this Railking showed up. As you can see in the picture, this one is marked as a 100 -ton car as far as the load. It appears to be from the 30-7536 6- car set but the MTH web site has no details on the dimensions. My other railking cars similar to this are all marked as 70 ton so this one has me confused. Is it really different from the 70- ton cars I have or is this a typo on the paint job? Thanks for any information!

This car came in both plastic and die cast, but I don't believe it is scale size.

I keep looking at the picture above and I agree. It looks too much like the shape of the 70 ton hoppers and not like the 100 ton dimensions. The factory must have forgotten to change the stamp on the weight when they changed the hopper production. I will pass on it.
