Here is a good guide to scales & gauges - http://www.brandbright.co.uk/scales.htm
Mamods/MSSs are not true SM32 scale but pretty close. For drivers I use the ones supplied by Modeltown - http://www.ayanami.co.uk/test/catalog/i ... p?cPath=25
Illustrated here a Jessie driver (meant to lean on cab side of IP Eng Jessie, but a little low for Mamod/MSS cab), a Punch driver and a Lucy driver. Also shown to prove he is out of scale is Fred Dibnah from Rob Bennett's Busy Bodies - http://www.7-8ths.info/busybody/drivers.html
Our Chairman is relaying some of his Garden Railway so may have some Mamod track available - http://gardenrails.myfreeforum.org/ftop ... -asc-0.php
