Re: Possible Tal-y-llyn rly layout

I have a recollection that the O14 standards were based on EM standards.? I also recall that when Gordon Gravett produced his TR diorama he adopted EM standards and reduced the gauge to 16mm. Everything worked fine so that might be a way forward?

I'm mulling over potentially building a small layout representing the Tal-y-llyn circ 1900. I have just finished 8 prototype wagons and I've nothing to put them on. The official gauge is 2ft3 however, reading the wild Swan book, unofficially the gauge
was widened by about an inch to 2ft4 to allow Tal-y-llyn to run better. If I go for the official gauge then it should be 0-15.75 or the eased gauge of 0-16.35 which is close enough to 0-16.5 not to worry about. From a stock point of view I can re-gauge them
with very little effort. so that isn't really a factor. Although loco wheels might be something of an issue. I'm not a great track builder so I was going to get some EM point kits and get some chairs printed.??
I know this is not 0-14 but I will be using the track standards. What do people think I should do? Marc |
