I am a hi-rail guy, and I too want 85' passenger cars. And Dick is certainly correct when he says that human eyes can tell even the tiniest difference, when comparing sizes of darn near anything. So on my layout, which will be using the AM 148 exclusively, there will be no shorter track with which to compare. The "rivet counters" <<<grin>> will notice immediately, but neither me nor my grandchildren will pay it much mind. And bear in mind that I will also be running hi-rail wheel sets, so the larger wheels will look more in proportion with the taller track than the smaller wheels used by the more scale-minded folks. Cheers :) Roy Inman
