Re: Back to back gauge

 

Hi James

I have always seen this Group as an online self-help group and this sort of project is real and practical self-help.? You are to be applauded for your initiative (and doggedness, I know how long you have been after one of these).? The availability of more 'home-grown' solutions, tools and jigs can only help 014.? Well done.

Now does someone fancy producing a three-point track gauge so I can get consistent gauge widening on curves?

Cheers

David

The interest in this is looking good, thank you guys.

There is no great rush, Malcolm won't be making them for about 4 weeks, I have a list going of who wants what, if the numbers go up any price reduction will be passed on.

I am not intending to make money out of this, just cover the costs.

I will not ask for any payment until they arrive.

Closer to the time I will email a list of who wants what, to ensure no one has been missed.

I hope this is proper use of the Yahoo group.

James?

I am now up to 15 in total.

I have had chat with Malcolm from Model Railway Parts, at these kind of numbers the gauge will come out around ?9.

Obviously a little more than his O gauge item, but he makes many more of those.

If the numbers go up the price will come down.

I will handle distribution of these in the first instant, expect postage to about 80p as they should go in a large envelope, over seas will be at cost.

Is every one OK with that price?

Lead time will about 4-5 weeks.?

James Hockley?

I am in the process of getting a back to back gauge produced for me by Model Railway Parts. I have been after one for a while, I am aware of what is on the market but they are not quite what I am after.

The gauge will be similar to the standard gauge one they offer at present

The back to back will be 12.4mm.

At present I do not have a cost for the item, as with all things the more I order the cheaper it will be, so I am looking to see what the interest in such an item would be.

I have ordered 5 to start with but if more people are interested I can get a price on what an increased order would be.

If you are interested let me know.

I know several people have made excellent ones, but I do not have the skills or equipment to do so.

Kind regards

James Hockley
