Is the Railking version the same size as the Premier model ?

I took a look at the MTH site and the measurements for both engines in each line were close to the same size.
Railking models are about an inch shorter in length and 3/16" shorter in height than the Premier unless it's a Railking Scale model then they are the same.

There are detail differences between the Premier and Railking versions as well. The Railking version lacks some of the add on refinements of the Premier version.
I was able to dig out the MTH 2002 catalog. On the same page as the Premier Ski train set it refers you to a Railking non-powered unit to match the set ?
Happy New Year everybody !
I physically looked and measured the Railking F-40 Ph and the Premiere and no they are not close
the shells are two different sizes the premiere is longer and approx 1/4" Wider. Also the Chassis Frames are a bit different in the fact that the premiere frame on mine is cut backwards and upside down from the Railking version. After talking to an MTH Tech we are not sure if mine was a foul up from China or if this was a one of a kind.
I picked up an Alaska F-40 PH Dummy for cheap with the intention of doing a Swap of my CAterpillar Loco sound diesel for a dummy so that I could Double head with my PS 2 Cat F40-Ph. Called and contacted Marty Fitzhenry here on the forum and he worked with me for about a week on and off and I was unable to do this so I wound up putting them back together and I now have 2 Railking Cat F-40ph 1 Loco sound and 1 PS 2 and a Premiere Alaska F-40 Ph Dummy
PC9850: Upcoming PS-4 feature? I want that really badly. Sound track come with it?
