Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by markperr The minimum is based on what your modeling. If it's mainline Steam or diesel (1/29 or 1/32) then 8' diameter should be the minimum to make the item look good. Some larger diesels won't work very well if at all on anything less than 8'. If you're planning on modeling narrow gauge steam (1:20.3 or 1/22.5) then you can probably get away with much smaller, say 5' diameter or even 4' diameter. Either way, bigger is still always better but in the case of narrow gauge may not necessarily be prototypical. Hope this helps. Mark
Is it REAL? or Just 1:29 scale?
