I know that people often mix OO and HO scales (1:76 and 1:87) so a car at 1:64 probably wouldn't look too out of place.<br /><br />There are, however, a few other manufacturers who make better proportioned model vehicles. For example, <a href="http://www.oxforddiecast.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Oxford Diecast</a> do models in OO gauge (1:76) and N gauge (1:148).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-51538587833718348272013-08-26T19:20:13.855+01:002013-08-26T19:20:13.855+01:00I echo Adrian's congratulations.

It is interesting, though, to note that some of the large model exhibitions I have seen use, I am fairly sure, Matchbox models and I hadn't noticed the scale difference. Perhaps I'm just not very observant.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-3540967703700277182013-08-26T11:01:09.876+01:002013-08-26T11:01:09.876+01:00Thanks Adrian.

I did have a feeling the Matchbox models were slightly too big for OO guage and if they are 1:64 that would explain it.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-81560513291701896932013-08-26T10:58:45.456+01:002013-08-26T10:58:45.456+01:00Congratulations.
