Issue 141 has gone to the printers for distribution at the end of the month. In this issue we continue with Part 2 of Marty Johnston’s superb series on the unique outside flange Charles Hunt Railway

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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 L&B

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've been building slate waggons to 14mm gauge since the early 1990s!! David Rae modestly omits to mention his super layout Bunny Mine. Adrian

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.

I was a late adopter, I started modelling in 014 around 2016. Inspirations include seeing Roy Link and his lunchbox layout at Greenwich around 1989, when I had an 012 model of the Groudle Glen

Nothing wrong with 15.75mm for the Corris - see our about page which states:

Hi all and thanks for the mention Robin. I’ve no idea when I joined the yahoo group but started 014 modelling back around 2005 with the Port Wynnstay England locos. It’s still a niche scale/gauge

Yes happy anniversary to fellow O14ers. I'm not sure Mark is still on the group or even active in O14. This was originally a Yahoo group and I joined as member no.2. We were an early transition to

Likewise, happy birthday to us! As to the significant achievements over the past 20 years, I find that tricky to answer. I think Rhyd and it’s subsequent extensions in it’s permanent home is a

Happy 20th Anniversary to all O14 members! I would be interested to hear from members on what they consider have been the significant achievements for 14 mm gauge over this period? Mark – are you
