Looking for HO and N Scale MINIs
Looking for HO and N Scale MINIs
I have two hobbies I love, my MINI and my model trains. I am working on two layouts, 1 N-Scale and 1 HO Scale. Both are Euro prototype, and I figured someone here may know where I can get a highly detailed model from.

Greetings to a fellow N Scaler! Unfortunately no layout yet do to a small house, but when I finally get a place for a layout I have plenty of rolling stock.
Herpa makes some N scale MINIs-not very detailed, but at 1/160 you aren't going to see a lot anyway.
Schuco (I think that's how it's spelled) also makes some 1/87 MINIs-I just got a Munich Fire Dept and an Austrian Airlines MINI by them. I have also seen Maisto and Yat Ming that size.
FWIW, Marklin made a MINI train several years ago. The set had a locomotive with a MINI on the side and several cars loaded with MINIs. The sets came in HO and N scales and sold under the Trix brand, while the some HO and the Z scale were sold under Marklin. They are hard to find now. You can still find the HO locomotives around occasionally. Check post #1872 (page 75 I think) in the Die Cast thread. There is a link to some pics that may interest you.

Another N gauger here. Also Lionel which is 1/48, I believe. I have found some MINIs and Minis 1/55s and 1/61s in WalMart and Kmart. I have an 8x3 layout that is to NTRAK specs. I need to find some more room for the Lionels.
