hello everone, I am an avid collector of John Deere tractors and would like to expand my collection to include a train. my knowledge of model trains is very limited. so my question is; is there any 1/64th trains if so who, where, and what brand. thank you for your time.
I believe that is S scale, 3/16" = 1’. It is a minority scale. Flip thru Model Railroader for ads (but look hard) or use a search engine like Google.com and search for “S scale”
If size doesn’t matter as much as quantity, try looking at HO (1/87 scale). Lots of John Deere now available in that size from Athearn. Ask at any train shop or check their web site.

S scale is out there–S scalers do enjoy compatibility of scale with many lines of toy cars, although the equipment can be kind of hard to find. There are a lot of brands…
S scale is indeed 1/64, 3/16" to he foot. There’s quite a bit available although not as much as HO. This site http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/sscale.html has pictures and links to much of what is available for S. S Helpers’ Showcase Line has used John Deere Tractors as flatcar loads. While many hobby stores don’t carry S scale, many will order it for you. Also, you can mail order it. By the way American Flyer is S scale. Many of the folks in S scale were once in other scales and find that the advantages of the scale outweigh the above shortcomings.
Enjoy
