1:29 scale USA Trains 70 Ton coal car next to 1:32 scale Accucraft Daylight photos:

This is to help gauge how these USA coal cars might look up against the MTH Challenger (1:32) that I have on order.  From these pictures, it looks good.

1:29 scale USA Trains Passenger car next to 1:32 scale Accucraft Daylight photos:

My hope was to maybe get a set of USA passenger cars for the Daylight, but as nice as these cars are, they are just too big.

Comparison between the very new Aristocraft Heavyweight truck (with the new shortened coupler arm) and the version before it.

In the February 2005 issue of Garden Railway Magazine, USA Trains has announced the plans to build a 1/29th scale Big Boy.  My guess is this engine may be a good couple of years away from the store shelves.

Pictures of the MTH Dash-8.  Looks much better here than in the production photos.  This also gives an idea as to the difference in truck to frame height between the Aristocraft and MTH engines. 

Examples are provided of an MTH box car (Norfolk Southern) and an Aristocraft (Green).
