I am modeling a railroad for one on my 15mm Fireball Forward scenarios. Which railroad scale is closest to 15mm? Is it HO scale? Thanks,

Pretty much, if only because slightly bigger looks a lot better than slightly smaller. |

I think it depends. If you are skirmish gaming then HO works well. However, if you are using figs mounted several on a base smaller buildings look fine. Thanks, John |

I believe it is actually TT. This is billed as 1/100 scale which equates to 15mm. It is more commonly found in Europe than the states, though. |

This is billed as 1/100 scale which equates to 15mm Many so called "15mm figures" are nearer 18mm these days (did someone say scale creep?) so more like 1/87 than 1/100. |

I find that 15mm figures mounted on bases (a la FOW) work fine with HO scale vehicles and buildings. An example here:

That is indeed true.

TT for buildings. HO is still a bit too big. |

AIM makes resin TT- 1/100 track:

I've bought aircraft from him and he's great to deal with. At present for my company level games I'm using n scale track and 10-12mm buildings with 15mm vehicles and figs. I got the idea from friends who game ACW and Napoleonics with smaller buildings representing towns etc. But for skirmish I'd use the TT or HO scales as others have suggested.
