[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Capt C Check out my tread "Its official, i must be going insane, is anything in scale anymore?" I had a similar cunundrum when I tried to put a 1/24 scale figure into a 1/24 scale vehicle and it was like trying to shove Shaquel O'Neil into an '63 Austin Mini-cooper! I decided to go with 1/20 trains and 1/18 cars, they look far better next to narrow guage trains than the 1/24 cars which are too small. Toenailridgesl is the only person I have seen that makes his own cars AT 1/20 scale, Phil's Model T's are really well done, but I dont want to scratchbuild a '51 Ford pick-up for my layout, I'll stay with the 1/18 die cast cars, the selection is terrific and right in the era I want. So far i have a weathered '55 Chevy Bel-Air, A '51 Ford Pick-up, a WWII Willy's Jeep, a '56 VW Bug, and two HD motorcycles. As my layout is small, there isnt much room for vehicles so I am holding on any new cars until I get a better grip on the structure layout, well see, right? [/quote] Vic, I've been telling the students (8th Graders) about what my plans are for my layout, you know in the few spare minutes we get between the bells and lessons (By the way here's a little joke or quote that people attribute to me, "The only difference between being in hell and teaching the 8th grade is that they don't ring bells in hell!" I don't really believe that, but it made for a good qoute.) Anyhow, yesterday they pitched in and got me a Harley-Davidson motorcycle (1/18), 1958 I believe, for the layout. It looks awasome and I think, one I get some boxcars and flat cars, I can ship 'em between cities on my line.
