We have the original that was done with the existing 70 ton core from the dark ages and the new one we did for the 60' car.  It has the longer wheel base.

Hmm,

Interestingly, I just saw one of the new release 60' box cars, and it has the trucks with the bolsters in the center. So it seems MTL now has in house two different sets of tooling for the 100 ton Barbers.

Joe,

You have two 100 ton Roller Bearing trucks.

The one with the 60' cars is on the left (centered bolster) and on the right the "new" 100 ton trucks that I ordered from MTL back in December (offset bolster)
