I've seen something similar in MG Sharp ages ago, should've got them at the time as I think these are only made in small batches. japanese stuff is 1/80th scale isn't it, that'll do fine. Phil, I didn't want to go with HO/OO track, yeah it would've made things a lot easier but I've been used to seeing 'too narrow' track as a long time British OO modeller and I thought it best to continue the theme! By my reckoning HOm/TT track in 4mm/ft is 3' 0", 3 3/8ths" too narrow is a discrepancy I can live with, whereas HO/OO track in 4mm/ft is about 10" too wide, for metre gauge. Apollo, thanks for the tip off about the model railway shop in BKK, will seek it out this time.

er, it's OOm, if that makes sense! Only because I started off with the BREL 158.Grilles on a GEK/Shovelnose aren't too difficult really, the real thing often has different pitches anyway, which I've replicated. I often wonder if I should've gone for S Scale or 5mm/ft, as regauging to 12mm isn't something I enjoy doing! Stuck with it now though as far too much stock in the works. On the plus side, as FMSR/KTMB had a lot of EE locos, the 4mm scale etches are just the job.

Hi fellas, been a long time lurker and thanks for the site, a brilliant resource. My first post, so here goes. Sold most of my British outline stuff in the last year or two, trying to concentrate on models you can't buy...namely Malay and Thai prototypes. Here are a few photos (don't be too critical please!), hope you like them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/barang_shkoot/sets/72157631802168288/ Anyone who has ventured into this subject here, if so any advice would be appreciated. The recent, occasional series of articles by Wim Harthoorn in Continental Modeller have been a godsend, although he models to a different scale/gauge.
