raildogg Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) How much difference is there in 1/32 and 1/25 scales. I want to have a trailer load of an excavator but, a 1/25 scale model is way tooo expensive to just sit there. I have even drawn up 3d models of track shoes, got 3d print prices and for a full set of tracks it could cost about 125 bucks! So I looked at Bruder toys and they offer some good looking 1/32 items that I could scavenge tracks from but I'm not sure of the difference in scale sizes. Any comments, even diecast 1/32nd look pretty good. Edited June 9, 2015 by raildogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-handicap Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Check out New-Ray toys. They offer a Peterbilt truck with lowboy in 1/32. It comes with an excavator that is 1/25th scale. I have one and it's very realistic if remodeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yep....You can pick one of the Newray trucks with excavator for about $25.....It's a generic digger, but it can be made to look like a Cat or whatever.....Very nicely done for the price.....

raildogg Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks again, I had the parts I badly needed all the time, right in my junk parts box. I will need to replicate 12 track shoes but, they will be the ones on the ground and won't need super detailing. I may just get one for kicks anyways. Thanks guys.

Chariots of Fire Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 A 1/32 scale model is approximately 3/4 the size of a 1/25 scale model. (25/32) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
