Merry Christmas!As another poster has pointed out, the doors on these cars don't always latch securely.  Four out of our five are fine; one needs surgery.Haven't weighed the wheels, but was surprised about the comment that they seem lighter than their Aristo equivalents. They seem much of a muchness.Each car comes with three sets of couplers.  Since we use H&L, we can't venture an opinion except to say that knuckle couplers are fitted as standard.Although the cars are advertised as 1:29, they are taller than their USA equivalents (i.e., taller than a USA 40' or 50' boxcar or reefer).  The difference is noticeable.  If you are a scale purist, that may bother you.We bought our cars from RLD.  If there's a better price, we couldn't find it.If you want to see them in action, go to our web site (<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/gscaletrains">http://www.vimeo.com/gscaletrains</a>) and check out Stack train and mixed freight. The mixed freight on the inner loop is a USA GP38 pulling our five AML boxcars, with a USA caboose at the end.
