Amazing what pops up in your pics John, is the train carriage 1/24? Great diorama potential.

I`m glad you looked in Geoff.......I`ve been toying with the idea of using an observation car,on a "brick" foundation for several years.....G-Scale is what this rail car is designated....G-Scale should equate to 1:22.5.....slightly larger than 1:24 scale.....my criteria for a figure in 1:24 is 3" tall .....such a person would typically use a 4" doorway....the doors on this car are 2.75" !!....I think train scales are screwier that Maisto`s interpretation of diecast car scales......but shot in perspective,I think this car and another on the way will be very useful.....neither are observation cars,which seem to be very pricey......I`ll be using this Baggage Car along with a Mail Car @ an avg of 55.00/ea/shipped
