I wrote to some of the eBay sellers that are advertising "S scale" vehicles that I'm not familiar with. I received several very prompt replies
Item: *1938 Ford COE Coca-Cola Delivery hot wheels HW S SCALE* (6033057886 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6033057886&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1>) This message was sent while the listing was *active*. impushstart is the *seller*. Front fender width is 1-3/16, Box is 1-1/4 x 3-7/16,Highth ground to top of box 1-1/2, Overall length is 4-5/8 from bumper to bumper, Its made by Hotwheels and they call it 1/64th, Thats all I know , Thanks Sounds plausible for S scale, perhaps very slightly small. 1-1/4" wide equals 6'8" wide, vs typical 8' wide for a large highway truck. tem: * S SCALE RARE MOBIL OIL 58 CHEVY APACHE PICKUP TRUCK * (6033067045 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6033067045&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1>) This message was sent while the listing was *active*. bonifides is the *seller*. 3 cm or 1 1/4 in. wide thanks for looking! A typical 6 foot wide pickup is 1-1/8" wide to be S scale. Therefore this sounds slightly oversize. Item: *REA TRACTOR TRAILER BY ERTL---S SCALE* (6033577562 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6033577562&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1>) This message was sent while the listing was *active*. trainbug47 is the *seller*. Both the width of the trailer, and the width of the truck across the fenders is 1-1/2inches, exactly. Thanks for your interest. 1-1/2" wide is correct 8 foot wide for the trailer. The tractor in the photo LOOKS a bit oversize for the trailer though. If the price is right, go for it just to get a short S scale trailer!!!! If the tractor is right, that's bonus. -- Ted Larson Still using W98SE? See http://groups.msn.com/hardwarejunkies Yahoo!
