FordTractorCrazy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 that scale is highly unusual for most scratch builders. Know a couple that make stuff in 1:64 but not smaller.... There seems to be more kit out from Siku lately in that scale though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke (DeWitt) Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 1/87 is a fairly small scale but I would ask anyone who works with HO scale trains as they are 1/87th scale anyways. A friend of mine has a large HO scale train display and ends up having to modify alot of his own things due to lack of certain items in that scale. Here is a link to a store here in the US, they do ship international but I am not sure how much that would be. Good luck. http://www.outbacktoystore.com/AGCO-Farm-Implements-1-43-1-64-1-87/1-87-Deutz-Fahr-tractor-w-3-Joskin-implements-by-SIKU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I know a few model railway buffs but they have OO or N gauge. If you look at a lot of the buildings for the railway modellers you will find they are often sized as suitable for HO and OO. Have you thought of using 1:76 scale instead? It is not that much bigger when all is said and done and there is quite a bit out on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
