I saw a Williams item on eBay that looked nice, but it didn't look scale. I e contacted the seller and he said it is 1:48 scale. That would seem to me to mean that it is a scale car, but I am not convinced. That is in part to the fact that I am not aware of Williams making scale cars. I thought all of their rolling stock was O27 size.
Without highlighting the item to create competitive bids, can anyone tell me if Williams brass cars are true scale?

I have 2 Williams AC-12 Cab Forwards and I super detailed both. They were well constructed and have fairly decent motors, maybe not as good as Pittman 9000s, but they hold up well. I would get one for $600 and detail it up. It doesn't take long.

Williams made reproductions in brass of the pre war Lionel 700 series scale freight cars. There was a tank car, Pennsy box car, B & O hopper and NYC caboose. They also made another type of caboose in brass. All were scale.
