Here's the longest freight car I have ever seen! I do not plan to run it on my 9' X 9' display layout - although I could as my minimum track is 054. Let's see yours!

They really are too long and I have minimum O-72 curves... Love all the wheel sets. For obvious reasons, I went for a New York Central

MTH made roller-bearing trucks, why didn't they use them?
Paul I bet that transformer is headed to Indian Point.
Sorry I don't have a picture of mine available, but here's my story. From the first time I saw one of these I wanted one. But I knew I would never have a big enough layout for one to get a lot of run time and couldn't justify the cost for an occasional run around the outer loop. Until I found a 20-98419, red, white and blue ABB Schnabel Car, missing the transformer, for about 1/2 price. I couldn't resist. I must say that with all of those trucks pivoting it looks better on my 42" curves than the Center I Beam flat car I have.

Very possible, Joe... Since they’ve decommissioned Indian Point, I guess they need all the equipment they can get to fill in the hole in power production
IMPRESSIVE!
Wow, that's some serious equipment!
Too bad Lionels Lift Bridge won't accommodate it. Too high.
Otherwise, it's close to scale and something unique.
Here's mine - the MTH 20-95155:
