It seems that Trumpeter made the wheel spacing on at least some of the
1/35th German Railroad guns in 1/32 to fit a common model RR scale.

I'd like to use the BR-52 with units from other companies - 1/35th scale
wheel spacing.

Does anyone know what they used on the 52 and what it's compatible with.

Good bet it was most likely Gauge 1 track (1/32 scale) or possibly
fitted to LGB track (which varies from 1/29 to 1/22.5 based on who made
the equipment.)

DML did the same with their 1/144 guns -- they're gauged for N gauge
(9mm track) rather than 1/1444 (10mm gauge).
