The "NEW Scale Vehicles " Thread

I posted a picture to show the comparison between HO(1/87th) and Matchbox or "peg warmers"(1/64th) scale.
The one on the left is 1/64th, the right is HO scale.

Nothing wrong with them. They are passable for HO scale and it is a nice looking dump truck, which I was hoping to get one, until you told me what scale it was.
I've always heard "box scale" used as a term to describe something with no specific scale, just made to fit in the packaging. But yeah, they're all sized well fro HO, the only problem truck is the flat bed tow truck, the scale is nice, but the bed is scaled for a matchbox car (1/72), so its way to wide...
