Mr Redgate Models has a lot to answer for!!!

 

Having met up with him today at Nottingham exhibition, a small passing remark was made........how about making Wold's End in T-gauge!!!

 

Now the T-gauge folks from Edinburgh were there:-(website) http://www.tgauge.co.uk/

 

With the T shaped layout as shown in the video on their web site.

Everything was running very well, they had a finished prototype Deltic on display which looked fantastic.

Had a nice long chat and points should be available next month.

 

Now I had spoken to John Wiffen(Designer of Scalescenes) about the scale factor for the kits to T-gauge, which is 33% some time ago.

 

So temptation got the better of me, I now have the 120mm radius start set! and a Train pack, it comes with everything including power supply for £92.75

 

Now I have printed off some of the required sheets to build the warehouse in T-gauge.......watch this space, hopefully I can do it, but it's very very small!!

This shows my N-gauge Class 08 and one of the T-gauge power cars!!

You are in good company Ian, 250bob asked me about DCC at the first Member's Day in Derby, I introduced him to Gareth at T4U and his demo layout. Bob came away with a Lenz Set 100 (I think) and Gareth's chipped up Bachmann 9F laugh.gif

 

Will you be the first with a T, N and OO gauge Deltic Prototype?, what about Z gauge though .... wink.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Hello everyone,

My first post on this site. I got hold of my first T-Gauge stuff about a year ago, direct from T-Gauge.co.uk, after seeing an article in Railway modeller. I have rid myself of ALL my N-Gauge "giant stuff", and am working towards having 3 layouts soon as the R/H points become available. I want my BIG home one, lots of different track possibilities, one of which will be a TGV line. Building a Milliput master at the moment, and will use latex moulds to cast the liquid acrylic for the train. I am also working on an 0-6-0, but don't want to say too much at the moment, want it to be a surprise. I have prototypes running now of a 4 wheel wagon, a six wheel wagon and a 2 x 4wheel wagon. Want to get them right before I release the details on how to do it. Can't have people wasting money, can we. This is one amazing little scale, and if down to me will be featured very soon at every show across the islands.

I do feel sympathy for traction, I dare NOT look to see how much I have spent on this scale upto now. I have converted two "103"s to London transport liveries. And quite smart they look as well. Working on scale water-slide transfers, (decals), to place on stations and sides of rolling stock. And of course, although you blame Redgate Models, if Alan from T-Gauge.co.uk, and his team, were not such nice people, and the layout so spectacular, you would not be on this slide now. Spread the blame, good principle, you know. The guilty people there are, the less for you!!! :-)
