Stupid question maybe - 1/35 locomotive kits

I think that is a good question . I am realy curious about the answer. 

I've built two of the Trumpeter kits and would also assume Hobby Boss is an exact fit but have never done a Dragon kit. You get a section of rail that's just under a yard long consisting of several track bed sections, ties that fit into the bed from the bottom and rails that slide into place (but not easily). When done it looks reasonably good. I'd love to see someone come out with some new train kits.

Hi Jeff - I was poking around at 1999.co.jp/eng and I can see that you're right about Hobby Boss and Trumpeter. They are using the same track. Dragon's is different and Mini Art goes even further by having different gauges for Russian track. In the end, I was more curious if the cars all sit the same across brands, since Trumpeter sells track separately, so the only issue would be adjusting the car's wheels to fit properly.
