I thought that the base plate of the new long trains looked like a different
moulding - the underside has a 2x4 ridge outlined in the centre, unlike the
older version which just had a large cluster of rings.

But mainly, it's 4 studs shorter than the service pack wagon base - only 24
studs, not 28.  (I gather that some of the red wagon plates are even longer,
at 30 studs - can anyone tell me if these are from the current freight &
crane railway (4565), or the old service pack).

Freight and crane uses three 28 stud reds for the locomotive and both long
flat cars, I believe, or so I interpret the instructions.

It's actually 2 and 2. 2 - 24's, and 2 - 28's.
