Today my package arrived, in it a Williams FM Jersey (and it's dummy), which I luckily could purchase on French Ebay. That was some thrilling moment, unpacking these beasts!
To be frankly, I was a bit flabbergasted. They are huge! My modest collection of Lionel cars is looking a bit tiny in comparison with the FM, especially the smaller box cars like the 2454's, not to mention the scout-type. For a moment I was wondering if the size of the Williams might be bigger than the Lionel FM? Or are these engines that 'oversized' in reality too?
I tried but couldn't find the dimensions of the Lionel on the net, the Williams is 16 7/8inches. I am not that obsessed by scale but now...I am in some state of confusion.
