Andrew Young Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) And some from me. Can blame Paul Martin of EDM Models for this. I sent the photo of them in the case to Paul who replied with “any chance you can get a photo outside the case?” A challenge we gratefully accepted! My biggest problem now is that I have one loco on order from Paul. Do I need to increase that order….

GEARJAMMER Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Ive grown up hearing all about the L&B..... ive never been but my father and uncle (both ex Southern steam men and both sadly no longer alive) both liked the railway and were both big fans of the line and the locos and generally anything steam or narrow gauge and often spoke about it. Modern image 00 gauge is more my thing these days so after i had drooled over the Dapol 59s in the Dapol cabnet at the Ally Pally show this weekend and then admired the class 73s i worked my way up the cabnet to be greated by these absolutely beautiful L&B locos, the Southern Green one captivating my interest, it looks fantastic, and whilst not cheap, i can see myself buying one of these. Can anyone confirm if im reading and understanding it right, these locos whilst being narrow gauge will run on standard Hornby/Peco 00 gauge track? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but remember that they are 7mm Scale (O Gauge size) and so will be much wider and taller than your OO stock - might hit your platforms and bridges . . . . . . . 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Peco O-16.5 pointwork I found on their website are the three Streamline points, which are stated to be of 610mm radius (2ft as near as makes no odds). Do they also make points to Setrack geometry in O-16.5? I haven't yet fully got the hang of navigating their website so may have missed something!

Pre Grouping fan Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Seems Dapol are also making a L&B signal to go alongside the loco's and coaches.
