Railway Track for Dio ?? (1 Viewer)

[Desertkiwi]

Hi Guys,

Just needing a little help here.

Does anyone know how I could get hold of a small length of straight railway track to use in a dio to suit King & Country scale figures & vehicles.......1/32 scale would be fine too??

I don't mind if its ready made or I have to paint and assemble myself.

Would appreciate any help or guidence here

Check out model railroad G scale track. It comes in 12 inch sections of either nickel silver or brass. the rail can be painted to look like old steel. If you want something smaller you can try O gauge track. both should be available at any hobby shop that carries model railroad supplies

In Europe, they were using #1 scale which was supposed to be a true 1/32..See if you have Marklin Trains at your shops...and then check out their G Scale version...Michael

#1 scale is best as it is 1:32 scale, but may be difficult to find. G scale is much larger at 1:22.5 scale. #1 scale can be used with G scale in a railway display to represent narrow gauge european track.

The best size for K&C by far is #1 scale.

Michael is very correct. Of course he would be. He is a train nut too.

First of all the people, the MARLKIN 1 GAUGE track is not hard to find via internet! Order from these places! They are certified Marklin dealers

Second, marklin is the best track to use, Much better than LGB in terms of size and quality!!
Now, if only K&C or First Legion would start making German WWII train items, which i have been begging for years!!!

Michael is very correct. Of course he would be. He is a train nut too.

Cheers for all your help....Toddy
