Difference in Tinplate Freight Series

a past display i put together shows a comparison between the 2/600 and 2/800 freight car lines, although these are original Lionel...

 

 

the 800 series is shown behind a 763 locomotive,

while the smaller 600 series look better pulled by a 226e size engine.

 

 

other than the obvious size difference, the 800 series were a bit more detailed.

i like small layouts, so i actually prefer the smaller 600 freights.

 

to each...

cheers...gary

Thanks for the pictures.  I just finished putting together an MTH/LTC work train in 2600.  I already had the 2800.
