Industrial Railway Workshop

Some of their kits, including the 48DS, were also available in Gauge 3, albeit I think under a different trading name. If you thought 1:32 was big...

 

A lot of gauge 1 manufacturers advertise within the G1MRA Newsletter as this means they reach at least 95% of the market. Similar for small suppliers in G0: until I saw a G0G Gazette and visited a traders show, I had no idea how much was available in that scale.

 

This is a big problem for the less popular scales. Small suppliers simply cannot afford to advertise in the mainstream press, and why should they when they are unlikely to generate many if any new sales? And yet at the same time, how do the scales themselves make modellers aware of how much is actually available, as a means of attracting new entrants?

 

Anyone wondering about changing or trying a different scale is encouraged to visit the annual meetings of the specialist societies, to find out more about what is and isn’t available.

 

Hope you don’t mind the diversion: that’s a nicely finished Model.

I have seen the G3 version and it is impressive. I've often thought about building one, just to sit on a shelf. I don't have the space to build anything for it to run on.

Just make sure that the shelf is suitably braced!
