Point well taken, but to me they are all toys. That includes all my years in HO.
Also a car guy and refer to the vehicle kept in the garage that doesn't take me to work in the winter that way.
Being a Mechanical Design Engineer I can go on and on about what does true scale actually mean. Even the absolute best Proto 48 is not exactly accurate to the prototype. There is that pesky thing called the laws of physics. Examples; the thickness of the glass in the windows, the size of the hinge pin for the doors, etc, etc. BTW do the brakes actuate pneumatically as in the Prototype? (yeah I'm just being a jerk now, but I know it)
Slide glass works, hinges and pins can be done, but the cost of doing pneumatic brakes? wow, that might be a deal breaker Have seen working hand brakes done in both S and 0 scale, but Physics and practicality, rules.
