Thanks for that. Not sure if I want to try it for the first time on a £200 model!

That's going to be very tight. Anybody have advice on how to open driving-wheel B2Bs? Anybody tried one on 00SF track yet? Robert

Lots of interesting stuff about appearance, but has anybody measured B2B on the Garratt models? Some Heljan models apparently have small B2B and it might be useful for those of us how make 00SF track to know what it is. Robert

Does anybody have any idea of how we might learn what back-to-back setting Heljan will use for the Hattons/Heljan Garratt? On page 9 (posts 209, et seq.) of the Eastwood Town thread (blog?) on RMweb there is a discussion of B2B wrt 00-SF trackwork. There it is stated that Heljan use a B2B of 14.2 mm and that this is uncomfortably small. The thought of a Garratt is very attractive, but the thought of trying to increase the B2B on so many axles isn't. Robert
