@Norton posted:Its been told that Lionel used the term semi scale to describe the 763 and scale pre war freight cars with tinplate trucks. Referring to detail not to the size which is scale.
That loose and vague term was used again in the 1990s when the pre war cars were reproduced with big couplers and misplaced trucks on some cars like the NYC caboose.

Quite correct, ….I forgot about the 763, which is basically a stripped down 700 with a tinplate tender …….
