Re: Backwoods - K1 Garratt
开云体育Richard, About 3 or 4 years ago at the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association's Convention in Burton there was a gaggle of Garratts on display, mostly clustered around John C?and my track-making demo. Quite the love-in, and probably why John didn't manage to do any more track-building that day than bending the end of a bit of rail Cheers, David Hughes From: O14@... <O14@...> on behalf of richard.spen@...

Hi Gary, I'll keep you informed of my progress, and pitfalls, hopefully few. I must admit I've only ever seen one running on a layout. John's article is the only well documented and account of the K1 build, although not built as a Backwoods ?Kit intended,
a true masterpiece and something to be inspired by. I've only seen articles on 0 gauge Vivian Garratt's and a NGG16 no doubt someone will correct me. Are you intending to dip your toe in the garratt pond in the near future? Many thanks for your input and encouragement
Kind Regards
Richard
