Some of you may have seen the news already: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BXzJjAZ6Q/ This all happened very quickly, but means our wonderful magazine continues. John

Re: SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
Allan, I also do the SAR Bell type link & pin couplings and also the Avontuur branch chopper couplings, the link & pin couplings couple automatically as long as you have the coupling height is the

Re: SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
?Brian Thanks, but I’ll have to pass on the sandboxes and oil tank/pump, as I’ve already fabricated my own equivalents, and fitted them to the (now painted) tank and bunker units. If I’d known

Re: SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
Allen, I have a few different types of sandboxes that were used by SAR on the NNG16's plus I have the oil tank and pump as a casting if you are interested. I also did a etched kit to make the SAR

Re: SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
Just for the record the Backwoods NGG16 kit was completely wrong especially regarding the headstock arrangement, if you compare the attached photo to the correct headstock you will see the difference,

Re: SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
Allan, The exhaust steam pipe from the rear unit on the NGG16s has only ever been on the driver’s (right hand) side of the locos. The two pipes on the fireman’s (left hand side) of the locos are

SAR/WHR Garratt pipework
A prototype question, but some of our FR/WHR experts may know the answer: As built all the NGG16 Garratts had exhaust steam pipes running along the boiler unit frames on both sides of the loco.

Re: Templot PLUG track
I agree David that the notable Welsh NG railways were all sub 2ft. I also agree that a suitable source of bull/double headed rail may be a challenge. I know Paul H used S Scale Society rail for Dinas

Re: Templot PLUG track
Was there any TWO FOOT gauge track with chairs? I suspect that it was all an inch or two short of two feet and thus somewhere in the lower part of the 13mm - 14mm range in 7mm (or the Talyllyn at

Re: Templot PLUG track
John, That's an interesting development and not such a surprise as Paul Martin produced printed 14mm track some time ago. That was FB to suit the Lionheart L&B models. FB is easy as there are many

Templot PLUG track
I've been watching on and off the Templot developments for 3D printed chairs in either 3D printed or laser-cut sleepers. The big interest for fellow true gauge aficionados is it is meant to work in

Hi Gents, I think special accolades are in order for David from KB Scale for keeping Roy’s range of locos, rolling stock and accessories alive! Also, Paul’s support with the re-gauging of the

I wonder how many of us got into O14 by accident, or nearly so? Back when the Greenwich show was still in Greenwich I bought one of Roy Link’s first batch of Rustons plus some skips (and a horse as

Hi Paul & All, I am here & have been for some time ? just not very productively as in the main my modelling in the last few years has been focused on P4 bits. I have been sorting some 014 stock in

I originally started the PLR as 16.5mm c.1985 but then very quickly rebuilt it to 13.7mm gauge (for 1ft 11 1/2ins) as it just didn't look right. This again I rebuilt to 14mm once I became aware of

I also remember seeing Rhyd and ALR at that show but I have had to good fortune to have seen both much more recently. I guess I started in 014 when Roy first introduced his range in the 1980’s.
