Have you looked at the USA [Trains?] or Lionel "G" cabooses? Both
manufacturers replicate standard gauge "stuff" but I can't remember the
scale ratios they use . . . I recall that USA in particular has
received plaudits from the press for some of their locomotives' fidelity
to scale dimensions -- I just can't remember what scale! Senior moment,
I suppose.
