Glorious NSE Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The baggage is intriguing, wonder who's tooling it is - as if it was Pirata themselves you'd think it'd be available in red as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large window coach (AS 1256?) pictured is a Bernina length vehicle isn't it, which is again rather intriguing, as to what basis they are using? I'm liking the Barenland coach, was hoping they would do one of them - I think that's a Pirata custom repaint I could perhaps justify spending for as a one-off. Likewise, depending on price, I might be more tempted to buy a one-off of their SI wagons than I am a log flat, as I suspect the SI would be a royal pig to kitbash or scratchbuild with the correct 'see-through-ness' - looks like it's a pic of an HOm one though from the couplers?

The Arosa first is a unique coach so no idea what basis that will be made from. Yes a Bemo Si HOm photo and I assume it’s going to be brass sides.

Bit of a stupid question (probably!) but the ad says N gauge and then 1:150, does this mean that the wheel sets are to the Nm gauge? I thought continental N was 1:160??

I thought continental N was 1:160?? Best regards, Jeremy No not stupid at all Kato used 1/150 to get it a fraction closer to metre gauge while still using standard track. This is why a few of us call it Nm9 - N scale m gauge but on 9mm track. It’s a compromise but it does keep it relatively affordable compared to Bemo HOm & Om. ABmodel and others do true Nm RhB but it’s a lot more expensive as mostly custom made in brass. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Very nice little parcel just arrived but why supply locos fitted with the close coupling but coaches with rapido couplers? Both come with the alternative couplers but it requires one changing, make yer mind up Kato Edited March 9, 2020 by PaulRhB 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Presumably because the GEX coaching stock still ships with rapido's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2020 Yep so I guess there’s a lot of trainset collectors pinging springs off into the carpet! Not a worry for me as I change them on the locos regardless, I’ve fitted close couplings to all my GEX and microtrains to the end of all sets. Can you imagine the fury in the Hornby or Bachmann threads? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically his approach is interesting in contrast to what a lot of folk are doing in that he constructs the model like an injection moulded kit within a surrounding sprue rather than trying to print a complete shell. Its a resin printer at very high resolution but I suspect as the print job is relatively flat i.e. fewer layers. The only big build up is the shell of the cab. Its probably relatively quick to print, unlikely to warp and economic as there will be little support material. It's a very ingenious approach. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
