Hey Guys,
Looking for material for my next project, saw preiser G scale body parts, are thet usable for conversion, how about Preiser 70MM? Out here in the middle of nowhere I'm forced to buy before I see it, Can you help?

Dear Ray,
Model railroad G scale is 1:22.5. Since K&C is supposed to be 1:30, there is a difference of approximately 0.5 inches in the height of a figure between the two scales. It is visually comparable to the difference between 1:32 scale and 1:30 scale or between a K&C figure and a 54mm figure. I think G scale body parts will look too big compared to K&C.
