Okay.. Im stupid.
Now with that out of the way recently a topic on true HO scale came up at our local hobby shop with friends and a NMRA official {for our area conventions}.
The topic was 1/87th vehicles ... As it turns out I had a few minutes at work and decided to measure a block truck {GMC MoW} next to a wide body GP40-2 unit sitting awaiting transformer release duties the other day and Ill tell you what..THINGS ARE OUT OF WHACK.
In conclusion the NMRA gentleman made this statement.. Have you ever tried putting HO scale people in HO scale model cars.. they would all look 8 feet tall........
However in some matchbox cars they look perfect., and a few ive got from walthers.
So my question is am I the only one that just builds doing a eye to distance perspective ?
Has anyone else ever ran into this?
