National Motor Company car kits?? Is anyone familiar with these 1/48 scale
Diecast and resin kits? Most of the kits that I have seen on Ebay are 1909-1915 Fords in different body styles, although it appears that they also make other types of vehicles. What is the quality like? I know that they are slightly under scale to our 1/43's but they look interesting.

I have looked at them, especially the line of Packards. But those
I have seen have all been HO scale, being 1/87. That's just too small for my clumsy fingers!

Ah, so that makes sense - 1/48 is O gauge, so these are model rail...
...way accessories! See http://www.locopainter.com/store/product.php?id=55
They look nice!

Thanks for the info, Karl. Here's a picture of the rail car. (pic)

Sorry for the clumsy "picture of a picture." Maybe this would look good to the Lionel collector?
And here (found on eBay) are the 1:87 / HO Packard kits:
