Small Scale Military Headquarters

I don't know allot trains, I like them and have seen some awesome displays but have never played with them. I was wondering if there was a scale that was even remotely close to 1/18 or 1/16? or am I on my own.... (what else is new)

* The "Buddy L" line =X=X=X= but they are quite expensive to get into.

General Blasto, a member/former was into trains and 1:18th. I think he collected LGB trains which are around 1:22 or so. That brand may be your best bet.

I believe G scale is the closest thing to 1/18 and I think its about 1/20 or 1/24. There are many great buildings in this scale made by Pola and Piko along with endless amounts of accessories.

Well thanks for all that, Im looking for something to use as a base and track for a project. I have about ten Mk IV turrets with the side armor and I dont know what to do with them... and well I was thinking....



am I insane?

Insane? no.......... I started this project sometime ago, my Dad got sick and then passed away. So its been on hold for a while.
I'll get back to it one of these days.

If you ever think of selling of few of those turrets Jnewboy, I would be most interested.

LGB G Scale trains would probably be the most affordable place to start, at least compared to the Buddy L trains. They are underscale compared to 1:18. Still, even the LGB trains are pricey. If you think the JSI F-14 is expensive, try the cost of an LGB locomotive. They can range from nearly $300 to almost $1000 for the best models. (This is the difference between hand-made in Germany and factory made in China )

If you can wait about a year I was planing to make one from the ground up in 1/18 scale.

I dont really want to even do it! just a thought of what to do with all my turrets.
I took a hard look at my current inventory and came to grips with reality...

I have over 40 projects in the pipe! I think I spend more time on here and looking for new projects than I do working on them.. This has to stop! I am mentally ill!

Just Found This!!
