Figarti train question? (1 Viewer)

Looking to make a diorama using the Figarti train cars. Will they work with store bought G scale train tracks?

Yes and no in my view. Figarti trains I think will run on G Gauge track as the track again I think is 45mm wide, the right width for the Figarti train wheels. I can't be sure however as I never used G Gauge track but other forum members have. I think Marklin one gauge works better as it's also 45mm wide but the sleepers are more in scale with 1/30 scale as opposed to G Gauge sleepers which are a bit to big and thick in my opinion. G Gauge are PIKO and LGB to name a couple of brands and I think they are scaled around 1/24 scale. Marklin one gauge is scaled at 1/32 scale. Here's a few pic's of a dio I made with a Figarti train on Marklin tracks.

Marklin 1 Gauge is 1/32 scale and the most realistic IMO. Available on Ebay. I use it with my Marklin 1 Gauge Krokodile.
The Krokodile was used in Austria during WWII.

Thanks to all who responded. I found a great train bridge for a diorama and am in need of some track.
I see the track can be a bit pricey so wanted to make sure they’ll work together.

I looked around at the track. I see they also make track clips - are those needed to hold the track together?

Zach, my Marklin track came with clips but I think if they didn't then the clips may not be necessary as the track is for a static train dio display and not for a moving train layout. I still kept the clips on however. I have also seen Marklin one gauge track selling in long lengths greater than 30cm. My layouts use 30cm track lengths joined together, then glued to the layout followed by loose ballast glued in between the sleepers. I also painted the sleepers and rails, weathered the sleepers then did the gluing bit.

Thanks!

Great diorama Tom. Marklin locomotives and rolling stock work well with 60 mm figures. The flat cars care excellent for Panzer transport.

No kidding, that dio is spectacular. I'm sure glad I saw it and thrilled to know there's good options for track that works with Figarti rolling stock.

Thanks gents and glad to provide the info.
