Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Aft'noon all, Forgive my ignorance but I have no experience of narrow gauge models in 4mm. Does any manufacturer produce L&B stock suitable for running alongside P4 stock? An enthusiastic observer of Tor Giffard has suggested a narrow gauge station near to the junction station on the layout. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Peco do L&B Wagons, and will release their coaches soon. Heljan have announced a MW that can represetn everyone except 'Lew' and 'Lyn' is available as a kit from backwoods. Langley do the remaining coaches However, all of these are to 009 (9 mil track), which scales out at 2' 3", rather than the L&B 1' 11 1/2" (nominal 2ft) gauge. If you are running P4, and want to handbuild your own track, you might want to try 8mm gauge: I can't imagine that the rolling stock would be too hard to modify, but 009 locos are exceptionally tightly packaged: it may not be possible to regauge them to 8mm quite so easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWCR Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Backwood minatures make a high quality etched kit for the Manning Wardles, this is intended for 9mm but would easily alter to 8mm if a more accurate track gauge was required. (Just checked on my part built chassis) They also do a Baldwin (Lyn) though I have not seen one of these and cant vouch for adaptability. Also the L&B crane, this I have but not yet built, looks very good. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
