[quote user="hon30critter"] have not measured which manufacturer's vehicles are exactly 1:87 but I have noticed that the Busch vehicles seem to be small in relation to the CMW and Athearn stuff.[/quote] Dave - Busch vehicles are true 1/87 scale, and, yes, some of them appear to be small, because they are small! British vehicles (bought from Britain) are OO scale, which is 1/76, so they are about 10% oversize. Sometimes I wonder why we go through pains in making realistic looking scenery and take a lot of care in detailing our locos and rolling stock, and then end up populating our layouts with cheap looking, oversize cars and trucks. I have seen a number of pictures in MR and also here in the forum, showing extremely well made layouts, but populated with rather toyish looking, cheap cars with no license plates, or a figure inside.
