They are mostly HO scale 1:87 but they do have some really cool military trains. Some of the Marklin are 1:29 but they are era VI which is for the current time period. WWII would be II or maybe I if the particular model were applicable as being old during WWII.

Marklin offers 1 guage. Not sure of actual scale, but these cars are definately European...Michael

It would be pretty awesome if K&C could do a business venture with a model train company to produce an engine, box car and a flat car for their World War I line. Then I assume that the American Civil War and the World War II collectors would want their own trains for their eras.

I had a massive HO train set back when I was a child and just loved it. When we sold the house we were living in, the new family bought the train set since it would have been a nightmare just to get it out of the house. It was on several pieces of 4X8 plywood. I have not had another since. I would just love to have an engine with a couple of box cars with some Americans or Frenchmen piling in headed for the front.

Since your not busy Andy, when can we expect this?

The V-2 and that real big gun that the germans used.

How about the Furhersonderzug?

How about those real old Lionel stuff. Had a lot but sold them all.

I have posted this information several times on K&C train forums! MARKLIN 1 GUAGE is 1/32 scale, not 1/29th! They make flatcars for military transport, but they only make German POST-WAR flat cars! A company called KM makes WW2 Flatcars that are 1/32 scale.. www.reynaulds.com Aristo-craft makes 1/29th scale, but i have actually not seen there items so i cant get an accurate measurement! Though they make some cool looking bridges,, The stone arch bridge looks great for an Italian scene! I have had Marklin 1 Gauge track in the past, and it is perfect size for K&C..

To give you guys some idea on the scale of the Aristocraft trains, 1/29th, here is a WWI German train depot I am working on. I have to get back onto this display soon. I haven't even added the track yet. I think these fit K&C very well.

Those seem to work very well together

If you go to a Train Store - what gauge do you ask for with Aristocraft ?

I really love your Train Station diorama - it is very cool

Mannassas Station has some of that stuff I think. Should be somewhat close to you.

Aristocraft calls it G Gauge!

That is correct. It is their G Gauge line. I need to paint some more on the box cars and put German markings on them. These are the 20' box cars, not the 40' box cars that they sell much more of. I also plan on buying a couple 20' flatbeds in the future and hopefully placing some WWI arty on them.

Here are some links to tables posted around the Web, to describe/explain model railroad gauges and their scale equivalents:

http://www.spikesys.com/Modelrr/scales.html

http://modeltrains.about.com/od/modelrailroadtrains/tp/Scales-and-Gauges.htm

There's a lot of info in these, so I didn't cut and paste entire tables. G gauge (or more precisely, G scale) scales out to 1/20.3 to 1/24th scale (the gauge, or distance between the rails, is given as approx. 1.77 inches in some of the tables I saw).

The list at the first link shown above is more extensive than the one at the second link; it includes almost all modeling scales as an item in each scale's description.

1/32 is comparable to I scale.

Hope that helps, prost!

Interesting that the 1st link states Lionel amongst Gauge 1 I always though Lionel was O scale.
