Unfortunately at $20. per they are out of my reach.
:erm: As 1/87 vehicles reach unbelievable price ranges (goes for all mfg.'s) I fear that we are on our way back to Hot Wheels and Matchbox cast metal cruelties on many layouts. $20 will buy a not-too-bad freight car, some will rather buy that or other stuff if they have to cough up $20, and go back to $.99 clunkers to populate H0 highways. What a shame![!]
Well, your choice of course but why have lovely structures, landscaping and trains and then go and put cheap looking vehicles on your roads and parking lots? To me they stand out like a turd on a cream pie.
BTW, I have the Dodge van from Brekina and they are truly beautiful, accurate to scale models.
Cosidering those hotwheels and matchbox cars scale out about to S scale, they look horrible when next to HO scale counterparts and people. Only some of there trucks are close, but they need new wheels and tires atleast. mh
My LHS just got some cars in from Herpa that I'd not seen before, they are called 'Econo-cars' priced at about $3 each. I think they would make good background vehicles.
