Interesting New Supplier: Vehicles, Details

[ljudice]

It's all German, but take a look at the tank containers, vehicles and motorcycles - some really neat stuff...  And they take PayPal, not just Uberfarktuben or whatever the funky bank transfer system is called...

I'm sure you'll get one and call it exactly to scale without having any prototype measurements to compare it to, and then go off on me like you forgot to take your Midol when I call you out on it  ;D


I still love you though

But there is no drug that is going to get a 20' 1/150th container to fit in a 1/160th container bunk.

Thanks Dan, for reading further - I stopped at the pictures!

BTW, there IS a 1/160th 20' tank container (not the American Limited kit). It is made by Minitrix, and it's very nice, but hard to come by without a container carrying "wagon".

I put an e-mail into Marcus over at the Spur-n site. I think he has a few samples of the CRV and V70 and can take measurments for me. If i remember corectly the CRV measures about 1/150, but that was according to an unknown party. If that is correct, they will be close enough for me. The 1.144 stuff is too big though.

No, there's not, assuming the tankcontainers are indeed 1/150 or 1/144... wouldn't hurt to verify through e-mail though.

I can live with many 1/144th vehicles, but figures sized closer to 1/144th than to N-scale are a problem, and those get on fee-bay alot. The amazing prices on the Volmer and Presier Z-scale figures is keep my Super Cheif's dome empty. If you've tried it, you know Z-scale people "fit" the seats and look better than N-scale figures in the domes. $33 cost on 10 Z-scale "seated passengers" (price we got on the last order on them) is a little steep, especially when you have to amputate their legs!

Hello Daniel
On the models is the scale of 1:150. And the Honda in width and height are slightly larger.
With best regards, Markus

Hallo Daniel
Bei den Modellen handelt es sich um den Maßstab 1:150. Wobei der Honda in Breite und Höhe etwas größer ausfällt.

Hmm... I think N scale people look better, but that's just my opinion.

You could use Z-scale people and claim that someone was filming some kind of reality show on board the train.

Use Z scale people to represent Orientals and  kids 10-15 .
