B 67

Yes, definitely the same ones. I don't recall how I ended up with them. But I must've sold one of them fairly quickly as I don't have photos of it. The second one hung around for several years before I decided that the scale was going to bother me, no matter what I did with it. I had two 1:48 VR B class kits at the time too. I'd have sold the other 44 body (pictured) along with cast brass bogie sideframes and other accessories on eBay a little over 10 years ago.

Thought I should pop in and say hello. I really like how that Atlas body has been transformed to a 42. Making me think about doing the same - only in blue and gold. I also noticed the old brass 44 class. I had a pair of these years ago and thought about making SAR 930s out of them - but the 1:43 scale was too noticeable against my 1:48 VR models. So I sold them. The other thing that bugged me was the shape of the windscreens. Looked like they were crudely drilled out with no attempt to file them out to the correct shape. I drew the correct shape on one of mine, ready to file it out, but it found a new home before I got around to that. Darren.

An A3 sheet of paper is pretty much the minimum size for an Oval of T gauge track. Although the flex track can be bent to a tighter radius, the bogies on the mechanisms have limited movement, so won't go around sharper curves. I was involved with T gauge from the beginning, although I'm not active in the scale at present. The original advertising posters (see below) were on an A4 sheet in portrait orientation. This had, in actual size, a half double-track oval. So that two posters joined (with one upside down) gave a life-size illustration of the oval of track. So, unless you're happy with end to end running of around 20cm, or do some surgery to the mechanism/s (anything is possible). then you're going to need a fair bit more space for T gauge, despite its tiny size.
