Thanks Mark. Not having any Dept 56 vehicles on hand to measure, they’re probably 1:43 scale. But you can measure yours to find the appropriate approximate scale. A 3-inch-long vehicle is about 1:64 scale. A 3.5-inch vehicle is about 1:55 scale. And a 4.5-inch vehicle is about 1:43 scale.

So I am confused
I am collecting primarily Lemax with a few dept 56 thrown in.
It seems like the Dept 56 cars look the right scale for all the Lemax buildings but I don’t know what scale they are to purchase alternative brands.
