Could it be that the door tracks are correct for a CN version?
Looks like the ride height in HO isn't that much better:http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/product_p/920-37155.htm
Are these MT cars?
...and you don't even get ladders on the HO car. Here's an oblique shot of CPI 85399 (earlier version of CP 85399?) showing the same issues. On this day, let me be thankful that 1) I'm not in the market for this car, and 2) I'm not a manufacturer of model trains.

With all their issues, if it's more than those blue box lifelike cars, I'm going to be passing.
Man, I have 12 on order.... If they mess up the CN paint job i'll be pissed.

True-Line dished out the money and did the design... so we should just suck it up and pay whatever they're charging... my god man, what's wrong with you... thinking a model should at least look like the prototype...

Man, I've never seen you so butt-hurt before. :-*
