Train Scale (1 Viewer)

Hi All

What Train Scale fits with 1:32 Scale? .
And are there any producer's there make Military Trains in that Scale?.

It is generally accepted that 1 gauge approximates to 1/32nd. I believe one of the plastic makers has produced a German engine of WW2 and Andrea have produced an engine of the ACW period, (this is a model, not a toy and is quite expensive in consequence) The best source to find information would be some of the specialist model railway magazines.

Marklin would be your best bet judging by your location.

I am aware that rather expensive metal train kits of narrow gauge for WWI era are available from Scalelink. These are to 1/32 scale.

I seem to remember that Fusilier produced some resin railway wagons some years ago, they had a diorama at Euro Militaire of troops of WW1 unloading them into GS wagons. They may have gone to Tommy Atkins and it might be worth while dropping them a line.

Thank you all.
I have now been looking at Scalelink hom page, and a very interesting product range they have, both figures, vehicles and trains.
From their links I also went on to Guagemaster hompage, and what I can gather from the two is that the nearest to scale 1:32 is:
Scale O - 16.5 (1:35), also called Gauge 1 or Narrow Gauge.
It is a jungle out there, but an interesting one.
When my funds allow, I would love to get a train to transport some armour.

trains are more difficult than rolling stock
If you want rolling stock look at Marklin Maxi or Gauge one and USA trains have depressed flat beds that fit K&C sized tanks

Again thank you to all for your suggestions.
Now I have looked further into it, I have found out that Maerklin Maxi, is what I need and want most. If only my funds would allow. But I have seen on Auctions sites, that you can be lucky to pick up some 2nd hand rolling stock for reasonably money. I will continue to look, and when ever I get some pieces, I will post some pictures.
