I am very interested in the latest rolling stock offerings from MTH. However, I noticed that many of the recent offering are Railking instead of Premier.  Now that I have switched over to scale sized locomotives and rolling stock I am a bit leery of ordering MTH Rail King rolling stock because it might be obviously not scale and look odd with my scale rolling stock. Case in point are the new Northern Alberta Railways 50' double door boxcars. They look nice, I collect Canadian road names but they are under the Railking line. Can anyone tell me or at least assure me that these boxcars will be close to scale size? Thanks!

Right now I am running Lionel, MTH and Atlas freight cars.

Some Data from the MTH Website..
Premier Double Door 50' Box Car Dimensions: 14 1/8" x 2 3/4" x 3 7/8"  [Reference: 20-93130 | MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS (mth-railking.com) ]
RailKing 50’ Double Door Plugged Boxcar Dimensions: 13” x 2 1/2” x 3 1/2” [Reference: 30-71103 | MTH ELECTRIC TRAINS (mthtrains.com) ]

The Railking has near-scale proportions and pretty darn close. I personally wouldn't have an issue with it running next to my scale rolling stock but that is just me. Hope this helps!
