From what I am reading, size is not what makes an item scale but more the exact detail combined with size.
No, fidelity to SIZE is what makes it SCALE.
BLT by Lionel on the rolling stock and engines.
I have never seen that visibly displayed on locomotives, only freight cars. I have not seen the name on engines either, my bad for including engines.
Have you noticed the manufacture name on your car/truck, they even have the dealers name.
In current times, the "dealers name" is optional, or is simply a license plate frame. As to the manufacturer, if one can't tell a BMW from a VW, from a Ford,,,,,,then I believe you have a problem. You may be correct but the cars I see have a Dealers name, it can be removed. I don't consider not knowing every make of car by sight a problem and if you can identify all the different makes ????
Oh well, I would not know scale unless it was it is a large engine/rolling stock.
Well then, I guess you really aren't concerned with this "SCALE" discussion. I found it interesting and fully respect the "scale folks"
Had I known my remarks would tick someone off, I would not have commented. This discussion was about "BLT Lionel", with a few innocent remarks about scale.
All my toys run in circles and when they break, to the trash they go.
This is a great forum and I enjoy reading .
