Is there a scale of narrow gauge that fits with OO?

[Esmedune]

Hello all,

I am a novice. I know a bit, but I am no expert on about 99% of railways. So I am wondering if a few experts could help me out. I want to build my dad's train from the Rocket 150 event. in OO gauge I know he is driving a Stanier Black 5, but I am investigating the rolling stock to make this train, but I think the most difficult thing will to be finding a correctly scaled model of the narrow gauge loco "The Earl" 

Is there a scale that would allow me to place it on this train? And is there a model kit of the loco I can source?

This video is lined up at nearly the correct point to see this train, give it a few seconds ;-).

Thanks in advance?

You want the same scale, of course: 4mm scale. The real thing runs on 2' 6" gauge track which scales out at 10mm, though most people would run it on 9mm gauge track as "009". As far as I know the only kit that has been produced for The Earl was the one by Golden Arrow Productions, (picture of an assembled kit) unfortunately though, at present it is listed as 'not available'. As a wagon load it could be static of course but , perhaps surprisingly, I couldn't find anything on Shapeways. If I do hear of a 4mm scale model I'll post news here.

Tom Bell, TeeBee does one on Shapeways, though it's in original form, before the GW ruined it, and it's the body only so you'd still have to get a chassis for it and there's no N gauge one that can be modified.

As a wagon load that wouldn't matter so much. The GWR alterations would need doing too, of course. Half way there though.

I was one of the crew of Jinty 7298 which acted as 'shed pilot' at Bold and took this photo of 5000 going off shed at Bold Colliery on the last day of the event.  Perhaps this was your Dad in my photo?

Cheers,

Ray.

That is a truly crackin' shot, Ray!  Thanks for sharing that.  I have zoomed in and I just can't tell if it is him or not.  This is him.

I had a play with yours, Ray, and I don't think that is him.
