While waiting for some glue to dry on a model I thought to look up dollhouses to see if they had any "extra" items such as depot weight scale. They did, but it was in 1/2 scale, which to me not being up on dollhouse stuff thought I better ask what is 1/2 scale or do I need another? I guess the next scale would be 1"???
Ok, it is time to boo and hiss at ole Toad.
Tanks for info!
Toad (yeah I am working on my trains! at this AM)
1/2 is 1:25

SO WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION, yes that stuff is pricey.
The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

3/8" scale is 1:32

Question about evilbay, where do you find the most stuff? I been there this AM and gettn some wild card stuff, some good and others bad. You have a link as to where you hunt them down?
I never knew dollhouse stuff could spill over into trains!
Sorry I missread the post, before I had my first cup-o-joe and my anti-grump pills, Doll House stuff is 1"=1' . my wife has some stuff for her half -built farm house both taking up space in my train area. Still on first cup.
DW, I just might like you yet, heck, I might even call you Uncle or Pops!
Toad (ode de Toad let)
Yes, Larry is abit high on shipping and has some good stuff but just thought there was more stuff out there I have not seen.
Just don't call me late for dinner
