I'd like to see a range of 1950s - 1980s vehicles produced, since N scale civilian vehicles are very hard to find, and very expensive. We need at least some of these to enhance our Cold War battlefields.
Cars, vans, trucks, etc.
I bought some modern cars from Pendraken about a decade ago (didn't go for the large coaches that was, also for sale). They weren't manufactured by Pendraken - probably were/are N-gauge model railway pieces - but that is what I'm planning to use. Pre-painted plastics, from memory.
I'll dig them out the lead mountain and photograph them, since they used to be on the Pendraken catalogue.

Have you looked at EBay and Etsy? I got 1930s N guage stuff there for my SCW set-up, though it was some time ago. I doubt that these kinds of things are viable as a Pendraken line.
Hello Mako
Have you had a look at Oxford Diecast 1/148 range, they cover that period vehicles, mainly British but still some could be used in Europe. The range includes trucks, buses, trams and tractors.

We've still got those, they're hidden in the Sci-Fi > Zombies section here: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-sci-fi-zombies

That's them (obviously #-o ). ;D
Thank you for the replies and info. I was not aware of those.
