I'm the same way... I refuse to buy anything that ever seems too small, regardless of whether or not the package says 1/64 (or 1:64) on it or not. And I almost NEVER buy anything by JL, knowing that most, if not all of their stuff is too small. I have a fairly sizable collection of cars that seem to actually be 1/64... but who really knows?! What we really need is to pool our resources and talk some existing manufacturer (such as Athearn?) who already makes vehicles for other scales into producing some S scale vehicles. I'd LOVE to see some of Athearn's trucks in S scale! John Degnan [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've since resolved not to purchase anymore vehicles unless I view them alongside an "Artista" figure and scale ruler. I now walk into Toy'r'us with "Bert the Cop" & scale card in my business card holder. Personally I like vintage "Jada" vehicles (current 'von dutch' & 'road rats' line), but they often have chopped tops & too fat tires/rims. Perhaps "S"calers could pool resources and order a 1,000 correct wheelsets from a manufacturer?
