My two sons are Eagles and I was a Scoutmaster for many years. I was buying them the BSA cars and one year they stopped being produced. They have the Eagle and Life cars. I asked Mike Reagan about it and he said sales were disappointing and the BSA wasn't the easiest to work with.
That being said the car is traditional sized and is what that is. I personally think every Eagle Scout should have one!
I have every BSA item Lionel has released (I think!) and would buy any others they released.
