What is the perfect scale for collecting model FIRE APPARATUS? Go to www.fireengines.net and cast your vote.

I'll take your poll, Larry but I'm not sure there is a perfect scale. I've collected everything from 1:87 (HO) to 1:16. I like the larger scales such as 1:32 and 1:25 because I do a lot of scratch building in those scales. On the other hand you can fit a lot of 1:64 and 1:50 stuff on a shelf that otherwise might hold 3 or 4 of the larger ones. Go figger!

I understand....

At first I considered wording the poll "I prefer collecting the following scale". However, given the limit number releases in some scales, I decided to go with as it appears.

I hope you start seeing greater detail as the scale goes up. Yat Ming and Highway 61 are doing a great job detailing their new releases.
