RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted March 14, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14, 2014 I had to check their web site to confirm that it is actually 7mm scale (1:43) as I was under the impression that some Australian O Gauge modellers use 1/4 inch/foot (1:48). In more ways than one this is a huge undertaking for a small company and appears to be their first loco kit - what a way to make an entrance! Also listed are coaches and freight stock all 'to come' and again in partnership with DJH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Dave Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I remember climbing over one a few years back when I was measuring up RODs for a project, they are extremely impressive loco's, and the model looks to mirror that 'feel' perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I had to check their web site to confirm that it is actually 7mm scale (1:43) as I was under the impression that some Australian O Gauge modellers use 1/4 inch/foot (1:48). There's a break-of-scale between the Australian states for O gauge. Standard gauge, which generally means New South Wales prototype, is modelled in 7mm. The Victorian 5'3" and 2'6" is modelled in 1/48, which works out closer to scale on the usual 32mm and 16.5mm track. In 1/48, Queensland's 3'6" gauge scales out nicely on S gauge track. Obviously there is a problem here for anyone modelling locations where standard gauge meets broad or narrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
