hey 'cisco1' --- I think you've got a good suggestion (comparison of what vehicles have been produced by whom/when) . .. A very brief 'comment' following manufacturer info would be helpful as to accuracy, closeness to 1/87, and whether or not is still in production. It would probably be too much of an undertaking to review all of a manufacturer's individual products. There are some inexpensive toy models, of trucks especially , that can be found at swap meets, garage sales and even in discount and chain toy stores that are close, if not exact HO scale. It seems that if an HO scale label is placed on a model vehicle the price all of the sudden doubles or triples. I found a beautifully made and painted diecast Grayhound 'Scenic Cruiser" bus in a toy store sometime ago and paid about $5.00 for it. It's close to 1/87 but has no scale marking on it, nor a manufacturer's label. Don't know about you but I'd go broke paying $8.00-$15.00 for scale 1940s cars, double or more than that for large trucks, and Pirate model buses about the same as discounted Spectrum 2-8-0. Hopefully MR reads these Forums and will consider implementing your idea. . .
