Hello to everyone, I have just joined this Group and thought that I should introduce myself. I am Robin Edwards, I live near Gloucester in the UK and I have been modelling in 7mm scale narrow gauge

Cheap and ugly
G'day all, Has anyone tried regauging the Bachmann On30 Porter 0-4-2 to 14mm gauge? I am most of the way though it but have found a problem, not sure what it is yet, either an occasional short or

Re: [O-14] Re: The Truth about Romfords (14 mm gauge that is)
John, I hope we are right, partly to stop the flanges from catching the chairs, I have reprofiled 24 wheels this afternoon, including 8 which I have had to take off an already built Fairlie and

Another introduction and a layout photo
Hello everyone. I'm building a 2'x3' O14 layout using RCL track components and rolling stock. Based on the Weydon Hill sand operation shown in the RCL Handbook, I've made one adjustment by moving

Re: [O-14] RE: The Truth about Romfords (14 mm gauge that is)
I have the answer, I think, to why some of us are in gauge and some out of gauge. There appear to be two Romford wheel profiles knocking about, I would suggest that one is the old 00 standard and is

Re: The Truth about Romfords (14 mm gauge that is)
Mark, I just checked with the wizards at the 3mm Society and according to them, the Romford 14mm axles were made specifically for 7mm modelders who wanted an accurate 2ft gauge driver. They are not

I joined the group last week, then changed phone supplier and the computer went potty. It refused to go on line and would only receive emails. Any attempt to reply got the electronic version of a

Sorry I should have knocked off the previous messages, but it's in photo's as track gauges and I think it is O.K. Frank

Re: [O-14] Digest Number 5
Michel, I cannot attach in Yahoo groups so I am going to put a picture in the photo section. I usually make a pigs ear of this and the picture is far too big. If I muck it up, I think you will be

Re: The Truth about Romfords
Frank, There is probably quite a bit, but the 3mm Society, like most UK socieities can only sell to members. The society price list is: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gfcoker/3mmPriceList.htm But, as

Hi All I have revised the track standards document and moved it into a sub folder called 'O14 Standards' with the picture in a sub folder 'images'. If we find any more standards we can then put

Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels
Frank, They will be plastic inner, metal rim, metal axle. I can get gunmetal, nickel silver, brass, mild steel etc for metals, and delrin or other engineering plastics for inners. I'll have to find

Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels
Mark, How constructed, metal rim and plastic inner? Keep us in touch, 7mm diameter wheels (scale 12") might be of use to some of us. When you get some made, send Adrian Gray a set for review in

Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels
G'day All, I simply want wheels for my own use, I can get them cheaper than importing them from the UK. And being a student cheapness is a major consideration. I do have some A G curly spoke 12mm

Re: [O-14] RE: The Truth about Romfords
Matt, Let's look at this the other way round, what is there in 3mm wheels which might work in 14mm narrow gauge? Frank

Re: The Truth about Romfords
