Mark, Looks like a quality product, when it becomes available. I wonder why, given that it uses a gear train to drop the drive from motor to layshaft, there isn't some reduction in these gears, one

G'day all, This just in from another list: <http://www.hollywoodfoundry.com/bullant%20intro.htm> The bloke that runs the company said they will be suitable for any gauge under 16.5mm, this could be

G'day all, I have created a webpage for some photos I took a few weekends ago at my local museum. <www.geocities.com/mark_the_train_brain/proto/goods/goods.htm> Hope you enjoy them, I have more if

Though it doesn't help with absolute measurements the locos and stock on the modern FR will fit most other 2ft gauge railways in Britain - our stock has visited Launceston, the WHR(P), the Vale of

Dear All, regret the drawing noted is the only one I have for the L&B wheel profile. however, it is likely that the rolling stock wheels were similar if not identical to the loco pony wheels. Roy C

Dear All Thanks for all the lively feedback. I totally agree with Roy that no one is going to notice minute differences in wheel widths and profiles, but the gauge is noticable. However I would also

Dear All, Looking through my 'archives' I've found an old Southern Railway drawing 'PWa/258' of 1927, that shows 'Engine Tyres in relation to 40lbs Rail Section'. The rail is standard 40lbs per yard

Dear All, My 'standards' for my industrial series are based on what is known to work, plus commercially obtainable! I always point out that they are only for small industrials NOT common carriers.

Michael, No, it's a curly-spoked wheelset from a wagon bogie - the 10-ton open wagon. The drawing is reproduced in the Goondah-Burrinjuck Railway book, although it's a bit too small to read the

John, is the 120mm the width of the locomotive wheels or the wagon wheels? Locomotive wheels are always wider than the wagon wheels. In order to prevent wheel drop through the frog the minimum width

Mark et al, It's interesting the vast differences between the measured wheels at ILRMS, and those on the Burrinjuck drawings. You list the wheel width as 75mm, 90mm preferred, and yet the

Just to add to what Mark said. The ILRMS does indeed have a problem in that we source our stock from multiple sources and consequently have a number of different wheel standards to contend with. This

G'day all, I've just uploaded an acrobat .pdf file with a comparison of RCL, RP25 codes 88 and 110 (minus 2.5mm where needed) and prototype dimensions from the Illawarra Light Railway Museum (kindly

John, I did some comparisons between the Roy Link standards and the prototype drawings from Australia's Zeehan & North East Dundas Tramway, and the Goondah Burrinjuck Railway, both 2' gauge lines.

While not exactly the same thing, I have been looking at the standards for On3 and comparing them to HO RP25. The NMRA has both fine scale and course scale information. Type in On3 wheel standards

Hi All Its been a bit quite here lately so I thought I would start a little investigative challenge. As was discussed some time ago the only 14mm standards we have are those published by Roy Link

Steve, Thanks for the photos, I have put Frank's Fairlie up for the moment (I hope you don't mind Frank) but yours will be next on rotation. Anyone else wish to share something? Regards, Mark
