See reply to Mark whic should hit group about now for answers to most of your queries. When I asked A.G. about selling the F.R. wheel he replied that if anyone enquired he referred them to me, if there is a demand I will order extra above and beyond those I need for my kits and supply them, same price as Alan's other wheels and axles.

Alan Gibson is probably the only other reliable supplier of wheels. He already makes at least two diameters of curly spoke, 10.5mm and 12mm diameter and also various 4mm scale disc and spoke wheels of these diameters which can be used by us. He has recently produced for me (as Port Wynnstay Models) a Festiniog teardrop hole disc wheel. You really need to find out what different axle lengths he makes, and there are a few, as I am sure he will supply wheels off axles to set at your own gauge if asked nicely. He supplies my inside bearing wagon wheels like this. I am willing to make the F.R. wheels available for general use if there is a demand. Can't send attachments on group but if you wish to view said wheel contact me off group and I will send the picture. Regards Phil T. ----- Original Message -----

I've already seen the post from John C, but my findings in terms of running were slightly different. On 14mm track, carefully checked by both gauges and then when I perceived a problem by vernier gauge was that instead of running on the treads the wheels were actually running on the root of the flange. I've taken a whisker off the boss at the back and that seems to have solved the problem. We measure or set back to back, but that isn't strictly what matters. I understand that we should be looking at the distance from the joint of the flange and tread on the face of one wheel to the back of the wheel on the other wheel. If you think about it, the check rail is intended to keep the flange from striking the crossing nose when the back of the opposite wheel is up against the check rail. Hope that makes sense Frank -----Original Message-----

There'll be an O-14 focus group at the convention? Great, count me in. My experience so far has been a few Roy Link skips, 3' of track on PCB sleepers, a Berg's Burrinjuck wagon and a half complete Krauss. I am interested in the industrial stuff, but bogie wagons and steam locos more than skips and rail tractors. Drop me a line if you need any help for the convention.

Introduction
Hi
I thought I better introduce myself as my joining the other day prompted mark to publicise the group. I have modelled in 14mm for over 10 years and am 1/4 way through making a large loft layout with 30+ yards NG track (+ Scaleseven) along the lines of the L&B but based in Cornwall. I hope to post ideas on track construction in the group once my Backwoods K1 Garratt is finished (see my posts on the 7mmnga group). Regards John Clutterbuck |

Joined the group last night, when I tried to introduce myself Yahoo told me the group didn't exist and returned my message! So here goes again. Having seen the message announcing the formation of the group I thought I ought to join as a modeller (not as often as I'd like) and manufacturer (that's what slowed modelling down) of 7mm narrow gauge vehicles. Hints and tips and market research at the same time. Most of the kits I produce for 2 foot gauge prototypes are easily changed to the correct 14mm gauge by moving the wheels on the axles and lining up the brake gear with the wheels. This has to be as one of my customer/pattern makers is Adrian Gray, Festiniog Railway Archivist, 7mmNGA trade liaison officer who models Festiniog on the correct gauge. F.R. inside axle bearing wagons have a specially designed chassis to allow them to be built to 16.5 or 14 mm gauge with a few strokes of a file. Also available are F.R. teardrop hole disc wheels manufactured for me by Alan Gibson. Have been trying to complete a 4 foot by 1 foot layout for the past 3 years and in my spare(!) time am a volunteer fireman on the Festiniog and have been for the past 25 years. This also gives me easy access to vehicles with my tape measure for the odd occassions when I actually find time to build models myself.

Yes is the simple answer, but nominally the one made for the Duke of Sutherland on page 16. Though the lining looks to be typical M.W. it is also similar to the early lining used on the Highland Railway of which the Duke was a director. So right or wrong it will be that style of lining but in H.R. colours. As you imply there won't be an awful lot of the original kit left. I'm going to use Alan Gibson wheels because those in the kit are too big. I will solder the outside frames provided to some nickel silver sheet and then cut out as required. Seems odd to build one to 2ft gauge that wasn't and to ignore the one supplied reasonably locally to me ( Normanton is 20 miles from here) and that was the right gauge, but it's my railway. How I explain how it came to be in Wales hasn't been tackled yet! After your e-mail yesterday I pulled the kit and the book out last night, it's getting colder on our half of the planet so it's time to start building loco's again. When I get it finished I'll post some pictures, but I've too many hobbies so don't hold your breath. Frank -----Original Message-----

introduction
hello all
I have joined the list today and will introduce myself.I model 7mm based on the Lynton & Barnstaple and am very interested in 14mm as I feel that the difference in gauge is noticeable.At the moment I am finishing off a model 0-16.5,but would be most interested to hear of any hints on rail/point construction in 14mm gauge.

Hi List;
I just saw the posting about this group being formed on the 7mmNGA list. Since my interest in 7mm narrow gauge is the two-foot lines in particular, here I am. I've added to the database on locomotive models, which also tells you where my interest lies: I'm about to start building a Backwoods Miniatures 7mm (O-14) kit for the NGG16 Garratts used in South Africa and now on the Welsh Highland Railway. I'm currently on a number of SAR newsgroups trying to collect information about the Alfred County Railway that ran (until August of this year) from Port Shepstone to Harding, hauling tourists and timber behind 2-6-2+2-6-2 engines. I have collected a number of links on these engines and the lines on which they ran. I also model the Maine two-footers in 1:48 (North American O scale), where I'm building a model railway that's freelanced but heavily influenced by the Monson RR, which served a slate quarry in Maine. Through that, I've developed an interest in Welsh slate quarrying and I expect at some point I'll build a Quarry Hunslett in 7mm (if the lure of the new 16mm kit from Slaters doesn't get to me first). I'd be interested in hearing from anybody else about to tackle the 7mm NGG16 from Backwoods. Cheers! - Trevor in Toronto |
