If PBL's Sn3 cars "seem" small to you it is most likely because most freight
cars of that era were much smaller than later cars. With that in mind... does
that make this an optical DELUSION...? LOL
But seriously... the "S" in Sn3 means they must be true S scale. Yet since
there are most likely none of the original cars still around, I guess we'll
never really know for 100% sure. Best we can do is just go with what is known
about them based on records and just be happy with it.
I like what one other person said about how these very early cars are easy to
scratchbuild since nearly all of them were made of wood. I've always been fond
of American 4-4-0 locos and freight cars of the Civil War era, so I wish I knew
of an exhaustive source for info, drawings and photos of some of these early
locos and cars.
Has anyone ever made an American 4-4-0 or 2-6-0 in S like those seen on this
page? :

Hi all:
My impression is that they
might be a little smaller than standard S, but I sem to remember someone
saying that the only difference is the trucks.
