it looks nice, if it was about 3 inches long . . .

It's 3" lx1 1/2"w x 2"h and looks perfect in my layout behind a 1/43 1948 Ford station wagon. LMK, I may have another one.
Lee,
It's just slightly under 3" from rear to propane tanks in front (not counting the trailer tongue).
Looks good as long as you keep it away from those 1/43 vehicles.

thanks guys. I order it. will go on the layout back in a corner where its slightly small size will work perfectly for a bit of forced perspective, but only a little.
I have 2 of them. One is being pulled by a car (awning in), the other in a camping situation (awning down).
You would think that Hallmark, and a lot of other buiding and toy car manufacturers
would look at the big picture when they tool up something, that is: "Who else would
want to buy this and why?". All of us wish the popular scale for model vehicles
was 1/48, but 1/43 we live with. Model vehicle scales are all over the map, many
desireable ones not even available in 1/43. Back in my youth there was a 1/25th
model car craze, with AMT building lots of kits. There was a noncomforming competitor, whose name escapes me, who built their model kits in 1/24. When you
looked at the box, you thought, "Is this going to be too big, and why the heck don't
these clowns build the darn thing in the popular scale?" I am still asking that question.

It's a Christmas tree ornament. It's not a toy or model.
I know this will come as a big shock to some of you, but...there are far more model car collectors, and far more Hallmark collectors/buyers, than all the "O" gauge layout builders. Why some think the world revolves around us is beyond me. If a company like Brooklin had to DEPEND solely on us, they would be belly-up in no time. Hallmark-wise...no need to comment.

Yep. We are lucky they are "close enough"! 
I can live with my BTTF Delorean and KITT Trans-Am even if they are not perfect in scale!

Yeah, its nice there are a lot of people out there who create markets for these products, otherwise though . . . I'm selfish enough in my case to just care about the fact that they are available to me if I want them.
