    I've been getting into Z scale lately (for space reasons, I prefer N or HO but just don't have the room to run them). This car looks pretty similar to the VTG gas cars recently released, but is a different company apparently. They are both gray with the orange stripe - is the orange stripe a brand mark, or safety mark, or coincidence?

    A company like Rails definitely won't entertain engaging in customs fraud just to save you a few dollars / euros / other currency

    It is a safety mark for making quickly clear what kind of load it is carrying (gas...).
