I figure that any scale is fine as long as you stick to it if you want to
display your models together. For example, one of my semi's (the tanker)
would work well with <set:2448>, but still dwarfs a four wide. My
eight-wide (the trailer, not the tractor) still works well with
mini-figs, but it dwarfs the tanker...

Hey, don't get jealous :) Your stuff is great, there's just so much of
it that it's overwhelming :) I'd love to see some of it sometime. (Now
when's that Cleveland get together...?)
