    Halton narrow gauge

    By Halton Boy,

    Hi everyone
    Halton camp had a narrow gauge railway that was used to move timber to be sent to France in WW1. I am building the Halton light railway as 7mm standard gauge. Can I build the light railway part in 7mm 0-16.5 gauge. Will the two look alright running next to each other? Do Ixon produce 0-16.5 gauge engines? or should I use a Peco engine with a branchlines chassis. The narrow gauge will only be a small part of the model railway with one engine and some log trucks.
    I have tried to log on to a narrow gauge web site called Narrow Gauge Railway Modelling on line, but it asks a question which I can not answer, What Welsh railway uses the initials W.H.R. I typed in Welsh Highland Railway, but it says this is wrong. Please does anyone know the answer?
    Thank you for your help
    Railways keep getting harder!

    I have found an American web site that offers a 3D printing service. It is called shapeways .com. Has any one used this site? They produce a lot of railway items which you can order or you can design your own items which they will produce. They have a vast range of items including replacement parts for real cars. What would the legal situation be if you broke your shunting engine and asked these people to make you a replacement body or such like? Would something like a building or railway wagon that you had purchased be covered by copy right, making it illegal for this site to reproduce?
