With regard to the comment about ‘EM’, I think what was meant was the application of EM wheel and track standards to 14mm gauge by reducing the gauge by 4.2mm
from 18.2mm to 14mm, rather than use traditional ‘OO’ standards.? Nowadays I don’t think there is that much difference as the Romford wheel profile is now much finer that it used to be an Gibson style wheels have always been to a suitable profile.
?
The 7mm NGA sales usually have the Gibson ‘curly spoke’ wagon/coach wheels and they have recently been stocking a variety of Kadee wheels – BUT I don’t think
these can easily be re-gauged as I think the axles are stepped with the wheels pushed against the stepped shoulder.
?
It would be well worth the trip if you could get across to Burton on 9th June as there will be a number of traders at the Convention including 7mm
NGA Sales, EDM Models and Loco’s n Stuff where you can chat and have a good look at the stuff before even thinking about buying!
Hi thanks for the advice. I’m based in Cambridgeshire. I can’t understand how You can adapt em to 14mm but I’ll look forward to finding out.?
