RTM tank and reefer car scaled dimensions? I referenced the former UDM (Industrial Rail) dimensions; tank length 8-1/8" (32.5'), tank diameter 1-5/8"(6.5'), tank manway diameter 1-1/8"(4.5'),manway projection from tank cylinder 3/8"(1.5'), length of underframe 9"(36'), and width of underframe 2-5/16"(9.25'), tank volume by scale approximately 8,000 gallons, how does the RTM tankcar compare to these dimensions? Also scaled a Intermountain Kit Reefer, length 10"(40'), width 2-3/8"(9.5') and height 2.5"(10'), how does the RTM reefer compare to the Intermountain scale sizes? Final question, the RTM cars have operating metal uncouplers, does anyone have experience uncoupling these cars with the Gargrave round uncoupling coils? Happy New Year to all Forum Members, John.
