Vintage Vehicles Suitable for 55n3 - hminky - 08-17-2010 You need vehicles to flesh out the model world. I found these vintage vehicles suitable for Scale55 and 55n3. The 1920 Mack truck is a Matchbox, Models of Yesterday. The other cars and trucks are Lledo, Days Gone By. The steam tractor is unknown and the IHC tractor is an Ertl 1/60. These are vehicles from my S scale days that were really too big for S. Someday I will paint a figure. What is 55n3: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.55n3.org/">http://www.55n3.org/</a><!-- m --> Thank you if you visit Harold Re: Vintage Vehicles Suitable for 55n3 - Sumpter250 - 08-17-2010 That looks like a good start ! I never have come to an understanding of the manufacturing world, where "scale" is involved. I would think that making cars, trucks etc. in a scale used by other models, would increase the "market". 1:43, 1:52, 1:60, 1:96, 1:144, 1:72,...close, but in many cases, not close enough. I guess "close" is the best we can get, short of scratchbuilding everything. |
