Yep, that scale thing is the problem.  Although I have my youngest son
somewhat interested in O scale, he is not appreciative enough to warrant
purchase of the cars.  They might make a good display for me, but I would
like to have some to operate in that "half" O scale.  Do you have specific
addresses for the two manufacturers you mention in your message?
