Regular Wheel Model Scales List

Post by slicc64 »

Hello all,
Cant remember where I got it from but i have a word doc that lists all the reg wheel models and the scale of the model.
I've found it useful and interesting especially when your putting together a diorama, train layout or street scene.
If this is of any interest to anyone let me know and i will email it as I cant upload it here.
The message i got when i tried to add the word doc was; The extension doc is not allowed. Gobboldy Gook to me [like most technical stuff].

Eight out of 235 models are 1:64 scale - hardly "most of them".


I sorted Christian's list by scale, largest scale to smallest.
I added a sort key to simplify things for me.
I've left it in since it helps for visually picking out groups of idential
and similar scale.

Here are the counts of the top seventeen most popular scales.
(Down to where there were only 4 instances).

15 1:75
13 1:86
13 1:72
12 1:80
8 1:85
8 1:64
7 1:87
7 1:71
7 1:150
6 1:93
6 1:74
6 1:62
6 1:125
5 1:70
5 1:66
5 1:61
5 1:100


But something counting groups of similar scale might be more meaningful.
Hmm.

54 1:7X
46 1:8X
41 1:6X
21 1:9X
14 1:10X
11 1:11X

An interesting list that shows the result of the Lesney policy for their boxes...'One size fits all', until they introduced the #44A Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and it did not fit in the 'One size fits all' box and they had to make a bigger box for it... :lol:

If they only knew that so many people would be spending so much time and interest so many years later...it would surely have put a smile on their faces.

What is the source of the information? The reason I ask is that although scales were sometimes given in catalogues (but not in the US I think - something to do with a difference in the import tariffs on toys and models), Lesney had a habit of changing some of them every year.

A lot of these scales look like made up nonsense to me - for example suggesting that the 28D Jag and 55D Mercury are anywhere near 1:72 when in fact they are more like 1:62.........
Real 5c and 5d are 28 feet 6 inches long - who can measure the toys and crunch the numbers to prove their real toy scales?? I suspect they are somewhere around 1/100 not as listed

This is an area I looked at in quite some detail, initially with a view to diorama making. Part of the problem (I believe) is that many of the 1-75 Matchbox are not accurate scale models. Look at the Leyland Ergo cabbed 8 wheel trucks for example - have you ever seen a real 8 wheeler with such a small gap between the 2nd and 3rd axles? I think that there is a quote from Jack Odell in the 40 years book about 'sticking a quarter inch in here or there' until a model looked 'right'. Some of the models will have a different scale of width to their scale of length. It's a great idea in theory, but in practise it'll drive you mad!

Most but not all modern Hotwheels are 1/64 scale so putting Lesneys alongside one shows just how close may Lesneys were to 1/64..........

I agree with Ewan. Most of them just wouldn't look "normal" if they were accurately scaled down.
