Track Gauges
All,
As a new chum to this group, currently not modelling in O-14mm, but
having a look at this area out of interest due to the release of the

I dont mean to be facetious but this should be the right group for

Re: [O-14] Question re 0-16.5
Tony,
I always think of the 7mmnga group as catering mainly for 0-16.5, but I
seem to remember you being a member of that. If you go to the line at
the bottom of this page http;photos etc, control

Question re 0-16.5
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.

Re: [O-14] Gear trains in loco's
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.

Re: [O-14] Gear trains in loco's
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

Re: [O-14] Re: Chipped Lister
Roy,
You won't believe it but I missed that bit about shaping the brush
housing. It's taken a few moments to spot it on the chassis block
diagram this morning, but that might have something to do

Re: [O-14] Re: Chipped Lister
The motor housing of my LISTER kit should fit snugly over the motor, just as

Re: [O-14] Re: Chipped Lister
Very nice work -- thanks for sharing. As we are babysitting our 3 grandkids (2.5 year old twin boy and girl and 6 month old boy) in kind of cold but very wet Chicago, your work has brightened my day!

About half an hour ago it made its first faltering steps under DCC
control. Faltering because there's a bit of paint on the wheels and the
