While it was a while since I messed around with these cars, I seem to recall that there were 2 distinct batches of these cars. Main spotting difference were the trucks. I believe one version had MTL trucks. One of those batches of cars (and I don't remember which) was quite easy to take apart,and the other one was pretty much impossible without doing some serious cutting.
There are indeed two generations of these cars.Gen 1Standard core kit and injection molded car sides assembled in China, flush windows, smooth roofsThree piece American Limited trucksGen 2Newly tooled cars, one piece sides and ends, clip on roof with roof seams and details molded in, separate grab irons, lighting kits, non-flush windowsMicro-Trains one-piece trucks
