Cheers Peter I can tell you of a model shop, lost in space and time here in Oz that has a couple of new Lima 33s on the shelf along with Mk1 coaches, 4fs and so forth. from memory a 33 would set you back around $100. Of course I will tell you where this place is only after I find out if they have more than 1 33 left http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by onslaught832 on Tue Sep 30, 2008 10:48 am 3millmodeller wrote: PCM wrote: I will have to use the force http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif (and eBay) to find myself a Lima 33.

I think at this point I should warn rivet counters of a nervous disposition to move on to a nice S7 or P4 thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_tongue.gif http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif . I had purchased various Triang & Lima 16T minerals at various shows for between ??????‚??2.50 & ??????‚??10 but I already had more 16T minerals than I could shake a stick at, so I had a word with that very nice man at Parkside Dundas & being a Scot I think he could understand a Yorkshire mans reluctance to part with cash http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif , so a mutually beneficial deal was struck for 11 van body's to go on some of the Triang /Lima chassis.........here is the progress so far in pictures. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=41179 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=41180 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=41181 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=41182 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=41183 Cheers Phill http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_thumbsup2.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by 87023velocity on Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:44 pm Cracking idea Phill http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_thumbsup2.gif Just goes to show you can make O gauge as cheap as you want, when you put your mind to it and also keep the area fleet engineer happy aswell (SWMBO) http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif Cheers Simon __________________________________________ Comment posted by Brinkly on Mon Nov 03, 2008 2:08 pm Looks like something from Swindon Works Phill!

Ian G __________________________________________ Comment posted by F-UnitMad on Tue Nov 04, 2008 8:46 am Hi Phill http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wave.gif A few Q's:- Are you sticking with the plastic wheels? If so, how do they cope with Peco points etc- aren't the flanges a bit deep? What couplings will they have? The curves do look easy enough for scale 3-links without any problems. Cheers, Jordan http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_thumbsup2.gif __________________________________________ Comment posted by onslaught832 on Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:58 am Hi Jordan http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wave.gif F-UnitMad wrote: Are you sticking with the plastic wheels? Well the answer to that is yes is yes & no, at the moment I have about 30 to 40 freight vehicles running on plastic wheels & I re-wheel a few at a time to spread the cost(the cheapest I can find at the mo are ??????‚??5 for 2 axles) so eventually all stock will have steel wheels.
