I need some help please, I'm new to G scale about a year now, and to this point I have been reading as much material, books, magazines, Internet as I can get my hands on, have gone to one model train show with all scales to get a good taste, I have been buying rolling stock to start my garden layout this spring, retail and on ebay and things I have been very successful to this point. My problem is this, I recently bid on 2 items and won both of the following and I quote the sellers remarks "You are bidding on a used 1986 Burlington Northern box cars, doors open & close, G scale, roof has 2 small chips, Made by New Bright Thank-you for looking" end sellers quote. One was green with chips the other was brown and had no chips The pictures looked fine, looked like what I new as g scale, feed back of seller seamed ok of what I checked there was 62 pages. Thinking I was buying 2 used, and weathered g scale box cars, I waited until they arrived in the mail. I opened the box and to my surprise I pulled out these two little box cars each 10"long x 3.25"wide x 3.5" high with 1" wheel diameter and will fit 45 mm gauge 1 track. My first words were @#$%@#$ are these things. My local hobby shop guy had not seen NEW BRIGHT before and agreed it will fit on gauge 1 track but that was all he would agree to, we were not sure of any thing else scale wise of its proportions to a prototype. They sure look real small compared to some of my other g scale USA, Aristo, LGB, Lionel rolling stock. So is there any one with the knowledge to shine a <br />" BRIGHT "light on this??? Is it g scale or not???? or did I just get ripped off or what?????
