Sarissa offers a first deal around its wild west railway range in 28 mm. This first offer also includes rails.

I have most of Sarissa's WWII rolling stock and they are great. I enjoyed building the different rolling stock and the tracks. I would say the tracks fit perfectly with "O" gauge cork roadbed. This will be a great addition to table-top gaming. P. |

Actually none of the cars bears the slightest resemblance to US car construction in that period. The engine could pass but the cars are very European. Nit pick over. |

Any references to substantiate what you are saying about not being US as opposed to European? Just wondering how they are different. |

Most notable differences b/w these and north american design are
1. "buffers" (those bumper posts) at the ends of the cars are european
2. the upturned hook is a european design for joining one car to the next with a short chain, whereas north american design was a link and pin arrangement famous for removing brakemen's fingers. The "knuckle" or Janney coupler was phased into use during the last decade of the 19th century, and injuries fell 90%.
3. the roofs of north american rolling stock tended to be angular, whereas european roofs tended to be rounded, like in these models hope this helps Perry |
