CMP Brass Coaches. It's a Matter of Scale.

This is the third engine that I've coupled to this coach of ambiguous scale. Coupled to this Bachmann 2-6-0, the scale looks correct. The coach also looked correct when coupled to an LGB Fortney, but under scaled when coupled to an Accucraft C&S 60 2-8-0. The question I have is, were all Jackson & Sharpe passenger cars all the same height? Perhaps cars built in the early 19th century were smaller to accommodate the smaller people of that age.

The Bachman 2-6-0 is a very small in comparison sized loco, the Thorney being LGB could be any scale as could the coach as you say. The Accy loco likely to be 15mm (1:22.5?) to the foot for exact scale on 45mm track at 3ft gauge, not sure but someone State side must produce correct scale cars.
