Unfortunately matchbox and hot wheels both size their vehicles based on it fitting into a set sized package. Also for those who are looking at railroad modeling stuff to use with diecast always remember that 1/64 scale is called "S" gauge and 1/87 is called "HO gauge.
I made the switch (still in progress) from Matchbox/HW scale and type to more Greenlight and Code 3; most of that I look for and do comes to modelling off of real locations, so the lack of customizable 1/64 apparatus doesn't bother me as much.
Yeah kinda bummed they don't make new ones I am saving up to buy those 1/50 scale ones. I am just tryna get all the trucks that my my family worked on.
I want to let you in on a secret……those garbage trucks with the 2 axels are Mini Garbage trucks! Look them up! When you realize that, then the fire truck to garbage truck ratio could work better.
Love the video love to find one of the ambulance you got in your fire station
As a 1/87 modeler, I am using some of the Matchbox cars as no one makes a Subaru Forester or a Mazda CX-5.
Same, this is why I stopped buying matchbox/hotwheels
