Dear Chris, The skips shown in the photo may well be Hudson, but they are not 'Victory' pattern, as these has pressed steel end supports and anyway, were post WW1 products. The 'Rugga' (REVIEW issue

Sorry, I just noted in Davies' "Light Railways of the First World War" that the class K "metal tip truck" Hudsons were 18 cu ft capacity. The larger skips from McLachlan Ltd. were 27 cu ft. It is

Hi, I'm new to O14 as a result of taking a liking to the WDLR equipment and various industrial narrow gauge pieces as represented at Leighton-Buzzard. I have so far only constructed a Meridian

Hi All In the course of investigating how to draw correct scale turnouts I came across a turnout calculator which is available from this site: http://www.urbaneagle.com/data/index.html which also

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Stephen Ottaway? I know he had computer problems early this year and perhaps my email address for him is no longer valid, as I have had no replies from him for

I dabble in 14 mm gage (mostly Roy Link products), although I do more with 7mm 16.5 and mostly Maine On2. Jace Kahn, General Manager Ceres and Canisteo RR

Dear Gilbert, nice web site - nice models! you have the 'REVIEW' details wrong though. Address (for the last four years) has been: Narrow Gauge & Industrial Cambrian

Hello Amateurs of narrow gauge railway visit my site, only narrow gauge railway including railways of 14mm http://www.home.worldcom.ch/gribig/ Gilbert Gribi

G'day all, Recently we have had a few members join, welcome! Are you actively modelling in O-14, or simply interested? Would you care to describe your efforts? If you have any photos to share feel

Hello, Another plastic formulation is Acetal, also known as polyacetal, polyoxymethylene (POM), or polyformaldehyde. Known also by the DuPont trade name Delrin. It is a high performance

Thanks Frank and Roy, I enquired about glass-filled nylon, unfortunately the factory making the wheels can only get it in white, but since the prototype had red wheels anyway that shouldn't be a

Dear Mark, I use polypropylene - this is an extremely stable plastic. It is oil and solvent resistant. It has sufficient flexibility to be made a good 'push fit' into turned tyres and grip onto axles

Mark, I would forget any styrene containing polymer, long term it will not be oil resistant. The usual polymer used I think by Alan Gibson and Slaters is glass filled nylon. Slaters I think mould

G'day group, Having ordered driving wheels for my loco project, the subject of wheels centres came to my consideration. I think I'm getting injection molded plastic centered wheels, for an

G'day all, The last few weeks have seen yahoo delete model railway groups for no apparent reason. In case this happens to O-14, the owner and moderators of this group have saved the membership

Hello, You might say: 'Your wish is my command'. My name is Geoff Baxter. I am the proprietor of Hollywood Foundry, the maker of the BullAnt. I have been following this discussion with interest.

I suppose someone could try contacting them with suggestions for improvement as it's still in development. Charles and another on the motor, total reduction 144:1. If say the gears in the bullant

Not quite correct - my LISTER uses three 14:1 worm sets, one set drives the layshaft, on which two sets drive the wheels. Total is 196 to 1. At full 12 volts the LISTER has a similar (scale) top speed

Charles, I'm thinking in terms of 60:1, Roy Links uses two 12:1 on the layshaft and another on the motor, total reduction 144:1. If say the gears in the bullant train gave 4:1, you would have a total

Frank - If you look at the site there is a 15:1 reduction, although it isn't depicted in the graphic. They also indicate that the optional 1015 motor will provide slower running. Charles
