Hi Gang,

I found these. OK, they are 1/32, but something so big as railroad rolling stock, who could notice the difference? Also, you'll see "7mm Scale", which is 1/48.

Wouldn't this 'critter' look nice in an industrial area?

They certainly look good. Isn't 7mm U.K. 1/43rd scale?
Close enough for Government work.

Will, spot on! I should have clarified ' "7mm Scale", which is close to 1/48.' I was lazy because I refereed to the difference with 1/32.

Yes, that's what I meant!

I have some O gauge 7mm scale SR Wagons I got from Parkside Dundas.

Plastic Injection moulded with metal wheels and bearing cups, three link couplings and transfers.

Here with some 1/35 scale figures





Those look pretty pricey, but nice.

This is a 1/32 railroad track by Sunset valley:


Wouldn't this diorama hold a nice company of tanks?


What could a 1/32 - 1/35 railroad scene look like as part of a diorama?

Al,

The 1/35 figure scales pretty well with the 7mm. It could make a good narrow gauge or industrial railway subject.

Hi Fredrick,

Yes, industrial usage was my thought too.

Group,

So what can one do with 1/32 trains if one wishes to? Imagine a nice animated dio of your M2s, M3s, M4s, etc., on flat cars hurrying to port:

Impressive pulling power but why would you want 105 box cars all the same? Seemed a bit boring to me but it is an impressive layout that's for sure.
