      The model looks nice, but do they have it in 1:87?

      That's one thing that always annoyed me about model hobbies. The railway people tend to use completely different scales than the vehicle and plane people; you can't build a cohesive world.

      1:48 and 1:64 are almost common, but the trains tend to be crude "vintage toys" rather than modern precision models. Don't even get me started on 1:32.
