Yes I know - I was hoping for a plethora of buffer jokes, but it came to nothing. Anyway, what’s the answer to the chair question? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted December 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 13, 2020 But seriously, I believe the sleepers are stretched a tad in spacing to miss the 3 rail wide bit, chaired as usual before and after. It doesn't particularly matter about gauge width, the strength is required in the horizontal forward facing plane. Mike. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call pulling out the OO wheels so it balances on the P4 track for the sake of a photograph, then yes... There appears to be enough room for P4 wheels, the outer ones are pin point and the middle set on some sort of sliding arrangement. The model captures the original although not the highest of fidelity models. I suppose I need another one really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
