Model railway scenery suitable for 15mm WW2??

[cram]

Anyone know of suitable railway scenery that can be used for 15mm WW2?

I'm thinking along the lines of cars, tractors, Tables and parasols for outside a cafe, stone water trough ect.

I'd like to add some of these extra details to the wargames table. I have the nice scenery bits sold by Peter Pig. I would like more, and had thought I'd find them from online railway stores, no luck at all yet though

Thanks for the link!

I'm thinking that N scale will be the closest to 15mm? Thats the scale I have been looking at so far.

My CoC opponent (or ally, depending on the scenario) uses TT scale. The tracks are 1:100, the cars and locomotives are 1:120.

N (1/160 in Europe, 1/150 in Japan) is a bit small. I'd agree that TT, if you can find it, is the best bet, although it can be tricky to find these days (except for trees and the like). Some German manufacturers have online shops, though - Auhagen have a nice selection of things.

EDIT: For very large buildings, though, N might be more suitable in that it doesn't totally dominate the table - especially if you use multi-based infantry.

Go for HO (1/87). Much easier to get hold of & cheaper. Although nominally it's a bit big, most will work with 15mm without any problem, especially given the scale creep in '15mm'.

I'd also go with HO scale for buildings and scenery items. I use many HO items in my games and while they are slightly bigger, the fact my miniatures are on bases makes them taller and kind of balances everything out, to my eyes at least.

There are plenty of new and second-hand HO scale items on eBay. 15mm is about 1/100 and HO is 1/87, so the big indicators that buildings are slightly over-sized are windows and doors. I have managed to fudge the scale in the past just by making the doors shorter and adding doorsteps to fool the eye.

I find that mixing HO scale and 15mm vehicles can sometimes look weird though. If I use both in a game, I try to keep them in different areas of the table.

Hello,

 H0 Scale seeme to be perfect for 15mm. The point is the scale / room problem. Only cars and lorries are exat 1/87. The most house are a smaller design, to decorate the backround for the trains. Even many coaches are just 1/93 or 1/100 in lenght, because the canīt pass their own small round tracks (Fleischmann / Maerklin). If you put a London cab (taxi) in front of the house and it covers the full lenght, you see what I mean. Maybe you can give paperkits a try. The german site Gleimo.de offers diferent houses in diferent scale to print. Some for free in N , TT & H0.
Try them & you can set yourself in the picture.
Again, many H0 kits, especialy the older ones, are a little bit on the small site. Many old cars & lorries are just small, good for you.

Hope to help, yours Sebastian

German maker Auhagen do a lot of buildings and accessories in cross-scale TT/HO (1/120-1/87) to match both scales with the same model.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Check out older European HO structures. Many manufacturers, especially Heljan/Faller/Kibri, made kits visibly underscale before the 1980s. I'm currently trying to buy up some older kits, build them, and post the results.

I have a lot of HO scale railway modeller's buildings for 15mm. They seem to work perfectly and are more detailed than most wargaming specific terrain.
