Wildly off. They don't have anywhere near hundreds. And the reason there are more 15" cars is because Lionel has been making them for about 5 times as long as the 18" cars.
In fact, in aluminum cars, they currently have 62 listings for 15" cars, and 14 listings for 18" cars....which is 23% as many 18" cars as 15" ones - a little more than 1/5.
