Finding it hard to find 1/24 scale cars and trucks 40s- 60s era, however there does seem to be a few in 1/25 scale, My question is, would there be a noteable difference in size between the 2 scales, Any thoughts greatly appreciated, Thanks
All LGB is not the same scale, so................
Here is something I have never really understood - Why is there the common use, to this day, of both 1:24 and 1:25 in the US market for similar sector model products, e.g. cars and vehicles. I can understand differing subject areas having developed with differing scaling conventions and how that can transmute across different hobby sectors to attract business. But such small differences within the same sector ? Apart from locking the buyer into your scale and creating "brand loyalty" I cannot see the point. Max
In the UK there are a couple of diecast car manufacturers who use(d) 1:25 - I s'pose for some people it's easier to work out, especially if there is no absolute reason to use anything else.Here is something I have never really understood - Why is there the common use, to this day, of both 1:24 and 1:25 in the US market for similar sector model products, e.g. cars and vehicles.

I model in 15mm/ft (1:20.3) but as most figures are 16mm/ft (1:19), I use those. They are bit on the small side, but (to me) acceptably so.
The scale of many vehicles depends on the size of the box it is going to be sold in. A good example were the matchbox series of vehicles.
If you really want an answer, the match box, because they were invented firstWhich came first. The model or the box?
