Old Photos: Early piggyback trailers *2 PICS* & *LINK*
I don't know the actual scaling, but these trailers were made in "G Gauge" along with a flatcar. *NM* *LINK* *PIC*
Except for HO, Aristocraft, I believe, used 1/29 scale. *NM*
Why such an odd scale, do you think?? *NM*
Per a Google search. Why 1/29 scale models exist.
Yes, the Garden Railway hobby is its own ecosystem with its own expectations. Most trains in that size are designed to be robust and look nice together. *NM*
While I'm at it, there is the tinplate-era size started by Lionel they termed "Standard Gauge" (2-1/8"). While toys made in that size are not considered scale models, a few hardy souls produced finescale trains in that gauge...
I missed the point that those were by Aristo Craft. I withdraw the question. :-p *NM*

The North Shore railroad and communter line used to run behind my aunt and uncle's house in Evanston. Memories. *NM*
