His erstwhile range of 4mm. NG track, locos and rolling stock were available for 8mm. gauge. Regards, John Isherwood. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hello John, and thank you. The chassis is scratchbuilt and split framed, using wheels from the 2mmFS Association. The body uses the Langley white metal tanks and boiler which gets the weight right over the drivers, and the chimney, dome and sandpot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Roy's range of products was 7mm scale on 14mm gauge track (as opposed to the usual 16.5mm gauge). Now sold under the KB Scale brand. Superb work on the Hunslet, Alex.

DavidB-AU Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Really nice! The WD Hunslet is my favourite ng loco. If it was available RTR that would be enough to make me "defect". What's the mech under it? Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
