Interesting that MTH is now using Solido die cast Military vehicles on their flat cars. They list them as 1/43 scale however I do have quite a few Solido Sherman's on my military train and they look closer to 1/48 than 1/43 as they are only slightly larger than a 1/50 Corgi Sherman. The ambulances and any other wheeled military vehicle by Solido are definitely 1/43. MTH used to use Hobby Master die cast Sherman tanks which have more detail than a Solido Sherman but the Solido Sherman is still a nice tank (Can you tell I love Sherman Tanks) . Too bad I currently have excess Sherman's, Priests, 2 1/2 Trucks and a Pershing waiting for flatcars. I did order a six pack of 50 ft flats (Lionscale) which should take car of that problem.
I am glad to see MTH back making Military flatcars.
BIGTRUCKPETE,
If all you want is a Sherman to put in front of your VFW either order the Rail King Flat car that is $20 cheaper than the Premiere Flatcar. You will only get one Sherman but that is all you will need to guard a VFW. Or go on Ebay do a search for Solido die cast, you should find one for $10.
