A little help on scale (again)
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, September 19, 2004 11:29 PM
I recently purchased an old Charles Ro crane car on E Bay. Its appearance is huge. It seems out of scale with another Ro car I have, nor does it seem it to match my USA Trains Caboose. What scale is it. 1/24, 1/29/ 1/22?

Hi Patrick,
[#welcome] to the forum mate.

Nice model you have just picked up, it should be 1/24 scale - the present USA catalogue gives it as that scale. You'll need the crane tender to go with it!
Cheers,
Kim

Well I have to go with what Kimbrit has spoken.
Some people mix and match there G Scale and some want 1:24 to be with there train that is hauling 1:24 others just mix it up.
