Of course, you get the ugly red plate when you buy separately. These are
fine for some applications, but if you could choose... would you ever
actually *want* red plates?
On the other hand, the "Open Freight Wagon" is $17 and comes with a bunch of
other good pieces- a great value. The only down side is that it has the
shorter base. Ah, well. You can't have it all, eh?
