I guess I wasn't clear, or everyone is fixated on length - typical male problem. A look at the picture indicates the fallacy of that line of reasoning.
I'm looking for a comparison in overall size between the two, looking to determine if an
HON3 car is roughly comparable to an N scale car in appearance due to the factors discussed. (edited to correct the gauge)
I'm headed up to Denver tomorrow to visit the Caboose - I'll do an on-site comparison when I'm there. I suspect I might just be right.
