Another introduction and a layout photo
Hello everyone. I'm building a 2'x3' O14 layout using RCL track components and rolling stock. Based on the Weydon Hill sand operation shown in the RCL Handbook, I've made one adjustment by moving

Re: The Truth about Romfords (14 mm gauge that is)
out would suggest that one is the old 00 standard and is the other This could well be the answer. I found the problem with my Backwoods which was supplied with OO wheels + 14mm gauge. I had already

Re: [O-14] Re: The Truth about Romfords (14 mm gauge that is)
John, I hope we are right, partly to stop the flanges from catching the chairs, I have reprofiled 24 wheels this afternoon, including 8 which I have had to take off an already built Fairlie and

Cheap and ugly
G'day all, Has anyone tried regauging the Bachmann On30 Porter 0-4-2 to 14mm gauge? I am most of the way though it but have found a problem, not sure what it is yet, either an occasional short or

Fairlie New Photo
How's that for a pun? I've put a photo of my double Fairlie in the photo section. This is taken before I turned down the flanges. I don't really understand this adding photos business, so if you ask

Re: Rollingstock Wheels
member? If it has relevance to 7mm scale NG modelling then it will be reviewed, regardless of source! Anyway, (Association committee hat on) why aren't you a member? :-) Adrian (TLO)

Re: [O-14] Re: Rollingstock Wheels
Adrian, Not yet a 7mmNGA member because I'm a poor uni student and can't afford to be! Being in Australia without a credit card makes it hard too! I plan on joining up next year. Cheers, Mark

More on 14mm axles
Further to the recent issues regarding 14mm axles I am finding that some kits do not allow the distance between the frames to be adjusted to match the gauge and maintain the correct relationship

Re: [O-14] More on 14mm axles
John, I think you have said that the K1 is Romford wheels. Now assuming that the frames aren't already pushed out wider than they should be to allow for 16.5 gauge, there are some extensions made to

Adrian, Will your wife notice that the built in wardrobes look remarkably like slate wagons stacked on top of each other? Frank (who's D I Y list is so long its on computer!)

Re: More on 14mm axles
Adrian/Frank My K1 kit was for 14mm, and therefore I assume I have the correct brass extensions. Note these are used directly in the bearings (e.g. brass in brass) which was one of the first things

14mm Standards - RCL
14mm Gauge Standards I note that a set of standards, copied from NG&I REVIEW issue 14 are published in the 'Files' section for this group. These were tentative, and a revised set of standards,

Roy Thanks for the explanation of the O14 standards. I am the 'guilty' person responsible for publishing your standards in the files section. I have been following these standards for many years

Re attic/loft -- if you had put insulation without a vapor barrier that did not contact the underside of the roof structure you would have upped the R value. It would have been really good if you used

Re: More on 14mm axles
I meant Guy Williams, but it equally applies to both. I'll wait and see if any others want some before getting any made. I assume as yours is still in the box you're not quite ready for them yet.
