Manufacturers in 1/32 and 1/29 scales

[Rene Schweitzer]

Brian, I stand corrected. That's what I get for multitasking!

Thanks for the info, guys.  I'm not going to sweat the scale too much, but the soldiers they have are in the 54mm range, approximately 1/32, although some are a bit bigger.  I don't believe any of them are 3", though.  Of course, the kids won't know or notice!  I guess I was just hoping to find something in closer proportion--dang adult pickiness!

 

In any case, the question seems moot:  none of the 1/32 or 1/29 lines I've found has 19th century equipment.

Please pardon a tourist from over at the CTT Forum, but I need to ask a question over here.  The G train world is unfamiliar territory for me, but my sons and I are thinking of getting a G set to go along with their civil War soldiers.  I know that, amny years ago, Kalamazoo did a par of Civil War sets, but they are apparently hard to find and expensive.  While I'm not looking for the ultimate in scale fidelity here, I'm wondering which manufacturers make 1/29 and 1/32 trains and whether any would fit into the mid-19th century milieu.  I haven't been able to find even a list of who makes trains in those scales these days (or did in the past), but I figured you guys over here would know.

 

Thanks in Advance!

Hartland Locomotive Works or HLW, sells 4-4-0 American locomotives and old style freight and passenger cars in 1/24 scale that are right in the same vien as alot of Civil War era soldier figures that are 1/25 scale. Its a pretty seemless cross over.

In fact they are retooled from old Kalamazoo train items, and Kalamazoo sold a North/South civil war train sets way back in the day.

Check them out, I think you will find what your asking for.

In a nut shell:
Hartland 1:29
Märklin 1:32
MTH 1:32
USA Trains 1:29

I think Rene meant to say AristoCraft (but not the AristoClassics line) instead of Hartland in the first line at 1:29. Hartland, the Aristo Classics and USA Trains American and Work car series are 1:24. Also Lionel made some 1:32 which you see pop up on eBay frequently.
