wdlr14mm

Now that would indeed be very purchasable!!!!!! Now all we really need is some L&B freight stock, and happiness reigns

One can certainly hope so @e30ftw . I doubt the NG16, but the Double Fairlie should not be to hard considering the basic CAD work has been done for the OO9 model already

One of my mates is building a 009 layout (on display at the levin model train show 5-6 May) An I did say a hunslet in 7mm would be great I want/need one even if it did not run on the L&B Yes the driver and fireman are a bit over size, but presumably the modelu figures already available will fit

But I want/need one of these https://news.Bachmann.co.uk/2024/04/Bachmann-europe-launches-its-first-british-7mm-narrow-gauge-range-Bachmann-narrow-gauge-ng7/?fbclid=IwAR1cWa_uToaLxyeMDs_f5C6MnVmDyp02Tzl8xELHdHYCLcKCvEwL5W0lrxk_aem_AUGEoNuHwKal2gl0zKSYIBOAqIPigXuCFAsJrkFfRPY4oo1O7vxPn00cyBmnqBNLArfUdMjIieeiuL_k4lHx8rB6

Not a lot has been happening due to a lack of track, well points really which are on back order. Taw has been running around in circles. Have ordered some L&B couplings from NZFineScale https://nzfinescale.com/product-category/oo9-couplers/ In terms of layout planning I have giving serious consideration to making the station displayable from either side, so that at one exibition you would see the back of the station building and at the next the front of the station building. plenty to contemplate

A friends OO9 layout that is progressing quicker than mine

where did you get the file for the 3d print bodies? what are you going to use to power the 7mm one? cheers john

How about posting some pictures of each meeting?

so amongst other things done over the weekend, I painted Taw's hand rails at the loco cab. Wanted some "shiny parts where hands grasp them as the driver and fireman climb into the cab

decided to weather the insides a wee bit and paint the brake stand

Track getting laid

At a model show this weekend, so track getting laid on the return curves But someone took my picture while I was doing some painting doing some weathering

Well from small beginnings and all that. The layout itself will be a roundy roundy. The curves at the ends will be un sceniced (well at this stage at least!!!!!!! So they are as good a place to start. 4 modules, each module having 90% of a 653mm radius curve with a 5cm straight at either end Magic train box car and minex open wagon posed for effect. track laying to commence next weekend
