Well if that were done, the smoke and smell and heat and noise would all be
reasons to shy away from a shrunken prototype. Not to mention leaking liquids
of various kinds in addition to dirt, rust, scale, etc. None of these
characteristics are wanted in the model train world. Let the prototype --
shrunken or not -- stay outside where it belongs.
And, with true-sized scale flanges, nothing much would stay on run-of-the-mill
model trackage. Derailments would be common and the cars would be very heavy
to lift back onto the tracks. Yes, I'd find fault with it for sure. And then
there is the air pressure release each time a loco is uncoupled from the rest
of the train. Yuk....
