It's kind of like the Culp Bros. that weren't brothers and they lived in
different cities. One set did some molds and the other ones did some die
casting.
My Rex suburban has steel driver tires. My Rex suburban also came with out
the port hole window, if fact no window there at all. My suburban also had the
famous Culp Bros Andrews style trucks with those neat rib backed die cast
wheels.
There is an S scale that lives in San Mateo Ca.
He is 85
He got started in S in about 1940.
He use to build CD model airplanes but got interested in S when he visited some
hobby shop that had those old CD S scale models
He ran around with some guy named Ben Carpenter after WWII
This Ben guy was REX
Scale versions of PUTT 0-6-0's that I have had the misfortune of working on
have square driver tires, no taper at all
