Here is a photo that might make a nice backdrop for a small hard rock mining scene. Bill Uffelman Las Vegas NV You're invited to view these photos online at...
Looks like fun. I have subscribed to the NG and Industrial Railway Review for a long time and have a complete set. I admire the 7mm 2 foot layouts and...
G'day Everyone, Welcome! We currently have 9 members. Thankyou all very much for joining. I have set the messages so all members can post unmoderated....
Just spotted this group being started. I'm in England, more to the point God's own county, which in this case means Yorkshire. I'm modelling Welsh narrow...
G'day all, Has anyone tried converting, or building a new chassis for, the Branchlines Manning Wardle 0-4-0ST 'Busy Bee' kit? Is anyone interested in an etched...
Hi List; I just saw the posting about this group being formed on the 7mmNGA list. Since my interest in 7mm narrow gauge is the two-foot lines in particular,...
hello all I have joined the list today and will introduce myself.I model 7mm based on the Lynton & Barnstaple and am very interested in 14mm as I feel that the...
I've got one to do, I intend to make it 'proper' outside framed, and use Alan Gibson's bearings. I will use a gearbox, probably a highlevel type, and this...
G'day Frank, Are you going to do the frames with the ornate cut outs as on cn 487 (page 17-Locos built by MW 1)? Also, are you going to build a new saddle...
Mark, Yes is the simple answer, but nominally the one made for the Duke of Sutherland on page 16. Though the lining looks to be typical M.W. it is also similar...
Hi, I joined the list today. I recently purchased the Roy Link Handbook and some skips to see if I like the water. I have been in On16.5 for many years in...
Hi Joined the group last night, when I tried to introduce myself Yahoo told me the group didn't exist and returned my message! So here goes again. Having seen...
Hi I thought I better introduce myself as my joining the other day prompted mark to publicise the group. I have modelled in 14mm for over 10 years and am 1/4...
Hi, I have just joined the Group. For those who don't know me I am heavily involved with the exhibition circuit in Victoria (Australia) as well as many of the...
G'day Grant, There'll be an O-14 focus group at the convention? Great, count me in. My experience so far has been a few Roy Link skips, 3' of track on PCB ...
I have just uploaded a document and diagram for the O14 track standards into the files section. Hopefully the diagram should be displayed within the document. ...
G'day All, I have heard it said that Romford 14mm gauge axles are actually 14.2mm gauge for Sn3. According to John Clutterbug's recently posted standards info ...
Hi Mark Over the last few years I have read many articles about obtaining good running and all seem to imply that following consistent standards is vital,...
Mark, I've already seen the post from John C, but my findings in terms of running were slightly different. On 14mm track, carefully checked by both gauges and...
Thanks John and Frank, I guess a few experiments are in order. Time to learn to handlay points! Then again, if we all send our inferior axles back to Romford...
G'day all, What is commonly used as 14mm gauge wheelsets for rollingstock? I believe Roy Link won't sell his wheels separately, is Gibson the only other ...
Mark, What are you thinking of making or having made that Gibson in particular doesn't do? He makes curly spokes in 3 sizes. 9, 10.5 and 12mm, and some of his...
Mark, Alan Gibson is probably the only other reliable supplier of wheels. He already makes at least two diameters of curly spoke, 10.5mm and 12mm diameter and...
Frank See reply to Mark whic should hit group about now for answers to most of your queries. When I asked A.G. about selling the F.R. wheel he replied that if...
Mark, Your comments are interesting but gave me quite a start. If the "14mm Romford axles" are actually 14.2 mm gauge they would also be dead-on for 3mm...
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....
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,...
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...
