I'm looking to do a station entrance for use in wargaming, specifically latter nineteenth-century (1850s-1870s), Warmachine, and Warhammer 40'000, and I want to know what gauge is the most compatible, I'm thinking 'N' gauge, but I'm not sure.
Beyond that I'm a complete novice where rail modelling is concerned, and beyond buying a copy of Model Rail yesterday morning, I haven't had anything to do with it in about thirteen years, so any tips or links to sites would be welcome.

S gauge, at 1/64, is probably the closest off the shelf but it's reasonably hard to find. Some folks seem to be using O gauge (North America 1/48, Europe 1/43) but it can look very large compared to some minis. N is far too small.

Cheers for that mate!

With the above in mind ... anybody know where I can get hold of an Old West train in S Gauge (preferable) or O Gauge ? Looking for a loco/tender and a carriage. Oh and about 4 ft of track.

Couldn't we make this a sticky? I don't know how many times the issue crops up in a year.

you sometimes get toy trains in the looks right scale available in pound shops (or local equivalent) or other discount type places

I spent a reasonable amount of dosh on some O gauge for the purpose.
Anyone want to buy some never-used O gauge? :?
Because it is wrong wrong wrong. And is horrible.

make me an offer I can't refuse
what have You got? pics?
You might want to take a look at my collection and the "RIGA 1919" scenario, that might give You another impression of 0-gauge (or better, Michi's collection)
-
You might find ON30 stuff on HO track gives you the look you are after for wargaming.
