luke the train spotter Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi there, I'm moving up from 009 to 09 and have sold most of my stock. I'm looking at minimum gauge models kits and they seem very well priced. What's you're thoughts on them and are they worth it? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
009 micro modeller Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You say you've sold most of your stock but have you got any 009 locos left that could have a big cab etc added to convert to 09? It could be an idea. I haven't built any Minimum Gauge Models kits but I have seen them and they looked very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't built any Minimum Gauge Models kits but I have seen them and they looked very good.I saved a Kato chassis which had a scratch built diesel loco on it(it has since been removed) but that's the only powered chassis I saved. I think in that case I will probably have to start afresh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterl Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Just to keep alive on this forum, have you acquired any MGM kits yet? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAT JAYA 185 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I've been modelling in 09 for a sort while and it can be super cheap if scratch build everything. i have found that you save more on the chassis cost if you stick to modelling diesel's and use the kato 103 or 104, but yes i model in both 009 and 09 and i find 09 much cheap and less frustrating. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the advantage of using it in 09 where it could represent small locos whereas in 009 they end up rather large. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishGypsum4 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just to keep alive on this forum, have you acquired any MGM kits yet? Peter I am playing catch up on the forum as I don't visit as often as I would like but 09 is certainly wetting my appetite. Is there a lot out there in 09? I will Google MGM shortly but I imagine the first thing that will appear is the film company! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke the train spotter Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Sorry about not replying on this thread. Yes I have since bought and built a MGM loco kit. It went together very nicely and would definitely recommend it. I will put some pictures up here in due course Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
