Scale Comparison

[raildogg]

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.

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.

Thanks I will have a look.

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.....

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.

A 1/32 scale model is approximately 3/4 the size of a 1/25 scale model. (25/32)

Could you provide a link or part number, please?

I've scanned multiple Google hits, but I'm not entirely sure which is correct...

My best guess is... This one?
