Honestly, I don't get it. So much discrepancy. If the cars are supposedly made to 1:48 scale and the passengers are too, then why on earth aren't the 1:48 people the right height and size???
+1 Seems like there's a market for, now if someone will pick up and produce at reasonable price. I bought a bag of the 1/50s. Seems the seated figures are different heights, and not 1/50 scale.
Its like a movie theatre, keep tickets low, get em at the popcorn counter. Same for "O" scale. Make scale accessories, and they will sell. If its 1/48, we shouldn't settle for items betweem 1/32 and 1/70 to fill our needs. Spend 2000.00 on a scale engine, then settle for something close to scale to supplement it. Why are we the only scale to tolerate so much variance?
