HO is 1/87, the scale difference will be very obvious.

Thanks Bronto, i was wrong then.

I'm not aware of anyone making a 1/72 locomotive of any type unfortunately. You might look for something comparable in the scale railroading realm? I seem to recall that there's a scale that's close to 1/72 but not sure which it is.

 

I may be wrong, but i think HO scale is the same as 1/76th. Thats should be close enough, assuming you can fnd the right train.

Hobbyboss does a 1/72 version of the BR52 locomotive. Don't know how widely available it is--it's been out for a while. I believe there are (or were) also some Eduard photoetch sets for it as well.

Cheers

Before you try to find a train you should consider where the hell you'll put all this stuff. I have the Dora and it's 3 feet or so long and very tall (with the gun elevated). The kit is terrific and I think you'll thoroughly enjoy building it. I don't recall having any problems of any significance.

Good luck and enjoy.
