Hey Larry ,
Looks like you got through the operation successfully...congrats on that.

I don't think there is any RR scale that equates to 1:35 but I'm sure some RR buffs will know more about that.
'O' scale might be close?
Cheers,
Charles

Hi Larry! Good to see you made it through the operation OK. Closest RR guage to 1/35 scale is called #1scale or scale 1. Pretty rare in the Americas and only slightly less so in Europe. Try online RR clubs or evilBay to get an idea.
HTH,
Rick

let me think for a minute

HO is 1/87
O is1/43 or was that 1/48?
G is 1:24

then there is N and Z scale but they are way off

checking the source of all knowledge in the universe called Wikipedia there are more exotic scales that come more close to 1:35, but the question is if you find an appropriate train in that scale. Can't you perhaps motorize a static 1:35 model?

Matthijs

Oops! If 'O' scale is 1:48 than I was way off........


Cheers,
Charles

came through all surgery with a big OK
but I have one more procedure to go through
a cather so that a small blood vessel can be catherized then Im off to the races

where can I find plastic models of trains in the approate scale
I can motorize them a bit to work somewhat in the dio
Guess I ll have to go c=scavanger hunting heheheheheheheh
Larry

"I" Scale is 1/32 -- I hear that is available in Europe.

It is good to see you are nearly fit and well again (thanks for the PM).
It may be worth contacting some of the manufacturers ref the work you are doing, as public relations are good for the company and get them cheap advertising. I also would go with motorizing one of the 1/35th scale trains rather than trying to use an excisting scale.

Hi Larry, congrats on the success of your surgery and God Bless you and keep you. I know that Trumpeter makes a 1/35 locomotive and some rolling stock. There are other mfrs. as well like DML that make rolling stock. It seems like you have a full plate with this one . Good luck and post some foto's
