Thanks, guys! I know I'm limiting myself with this specific scale... I wanted to try it 'cuz I've got model horses in that scale. Just an idea I had and thought I might try... : ) I'm actually quite happy with what I've seen with MTH's cars. Their prices seem fairly reasonable, too. They don't seem to have a lot of steam engines, though. I want to go for the "classic", old-time look. I think I'd probably be happy w/ just a passenger train and one freight train. : ) The biggest challenge I can see is with the accessories. It looks like I'll have to scratch-build my buildings if I really want them to be in scale. I may have to settle for a "close enough" when it comes to human figures. One other thing... I find lots of times when I look at ads, they don't specifically list the scale. Do I just need to "know" what sizes specific manufactures generally make their stuff in? I suppose they're just trying to save space in the ads, but it sure would be nice if they had a scale listed w/each piece... or at least put something like "all trains on this page are in (such-and-such) scale." I should add that I'm extremely limited in local stores where I can buy large-scale trains (I know of maybe one), so I can't really see them in person. So it's not like I can see a 1:29 car next to a 1:32 car and see how well they match (whether one greatly outsizes the other).
