Finally! Made my own 5+ years ago, hope I don’t have to wait another 5+ for Soviet locos/rolling stock to put on it.

It is the Russian gauge5 ft/​1,524 mm, right? If so, it can not be used for the German based models, can it? P.

They look good I think the standard gauge track that the Germans use is 4 ft 8½ in or 1,435 mm

Yes,the German standard gauge was wider than the Russian. They had to rebuild tracks going into Russia or switch rolling stock at the border. J

Thanks to you all. But it can NOT be used for the Trumpeter Reichsbahn rolling stock? So, it is restricted to dio's and the very rare resin wagons, as I see it.

The difference between the Russian and European gauges is still too big even in 1/72, not to speak about 1/35. But the answer is: yes, Miniart track can be used with Deutsche Reichsbahn rolling stock. This one, though: LINK Jerry, are you sure that 1435 mm is more than 1524 mm?

Hi Ilian, Thanks! So there are two (Miniart) types now, Europan and Russian. P.

Hi Jerry, Other way around. Russian track is 5-foot and the Germans used 4-ft 8 1/2-in.

That's what I thought too, though knowing what a mess the whole region was I wouldn't be surprised if they had a couple of proprietary gauges as well. Still, it might prove useful, especially if someone (MiniArt?) goes on to offer such delectable as a Soviet armoured train...
