Greetings from the Left Coast, USA: (1) Are you actually working to 14mm gauge? No. (2) If so are you using the RCL standard, if not what variation are you using? None - finding Roy's

Doug: As a fellow "left-coaster" (Seattle) I hear your pain, but I've had no problems getting Roy's products from Parragon. They are very accomodating and using a credit card eases the currency

For those of you who may have missed my post on the 7mmnga group, I have produced some masters for replacement cylinder covers for the Backwoods K1 Garratt. These are of the correct size and have

Mark, I assume when you say gear chain you mean a worm and gear and then a set or series of gears to either increase the reduction ratio or move the drive somewhere else. I've always understood that

Frank, Thanks for relating your experience and the photos. I think I will go for a gunmetal or steel worm with a delrin or celcon gear with a widened bearing area to prevent the wobble. Regards,

G'day all, Would anyone like to see a model of 'Burra' www.geocities.com/mark_the_train_brain/layout/burra.jpg produced for O-14 in an etched brass kit or RTR? I have been drawing etch patterns for

Can anybody tell me if there is a 0-16.5 group as I haven't been able to find one? Or in particular Lynton & Barnstaple. Cheers Tony Spencer
