In OO it would measure 47.5 feet long and is 9.5 feet wide; the Revell car thus is actually almost the same size as a Scale-Craft flat and with rivet details! It is a car to keep your eyes peeled for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a photo of a prototype car with the same markings and a very similar load on the last page of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The OO Road<\/span> for April of 1989, which included an article by Johann on TOFC and COFC cars.
