G'day All,
I have heard it said that Romford 14mm gauge axles are actually 14.2mm
gauge for Sn3. According to John Clutterbug's recently posted standards info
(in the files), there is an extra 0.1-0.2mm back to back on Romfords.
Does it make all that much difference? I haven't laid any points yet, but
the track I have is laid to 14mm exactly (even around 6" radius curves) and
the Romfords track fine around it (I come from N using proprietry track so
am unaware of the intricacies of handlaid finescale track).
From what I can tell (left my calipers at work), its only the flange
thickness that is different from the RCL wheelsets. If it does make a
difference, would it be a good idea for us all to send our axles back to
Romford saying they aren't to the right gauge and asking for suitable
replacements?
