the mth looked so much like the industrial rail that i just dismissed it as being from the same mold. i hadn’t realized williams even made trolleys.
Fortunately, Mitch is here to save the day!
Front row L-R: Bowser ST Birney, Western Hobbycraft St. Louis, Bowser Brill, IR/Atlas Brill.
Back row L-R: Bachmann/Williams Peter Witt, MTH PCC, MTH Brill.
As you can see, both the Bowser Brill and MTH Brill are larger than the IR Brill, which is arguably closer to traditional/S scale.
The Bowser Birney is scaled to match the Bowser Brill. The Lionel Birney and MTH single truck car have similar size and proportions.
The Western Hobbycraft St. Louis car is similar to the Bowser Brill and MTH PCC, sizewise.

thank you, that’s exactly the sort of thing i was looking for. that’s quite a size difference.
