N-scale: Busch 160:1 vehicles vs. Kato vehicles.
I know that some Tomix models N-scale in 150:1, but despite the original thread title, I'm unsure if Kato models their vehicles at 1:150 or 1:160. I'm about to buy some N-scale vehicles from Busch (Germany). I'm assuming that most or all European N-scale products are modeled in 160:1 (with the exception of the British standard of 1:148), though I can't find any confirmation of this anywhere on either the English- or German-language Busch sites. Can anyone confirm that Busch vehicles are actually 160:1?
To avoid the visual discrepancy, I plan to only buy vehicles from manufacturers who model N-scale in 160:1. Does anyone have both Kato and Busch vehicles? How do they compare scale-wise? (Note that I'm only buying modern passenger cars and utility vans).
[Note: For those wanting the answer, I'm guessing that the Kato vehicles are probably 1:150, since they appear slightly out-of-scale compared to the Busch 1:160 vehicles.]
