Hello all, I hope I am in the right section.
Can the Trumpeter German Rolling stock, Gondola, etc, be used as British rolling? And is the wheel size compatible with the Italeri Dockside rail lines? Need advice before I purchase the rolling stock.
Thank you in anticipation,
Tony

Not really. British rolling stock was much smaller and looks quite different:

Thanks for the prompt reply. O, well, I will have to rethink things. Thanks for your helpful input, I will study the wagons closely and see what i can do.
Thank you once again.
Tony
