Hummmmmmmmm.

Bachmann and Hornby are 4mm gauge running on 16.5mm track.

Looking at NMRA Standards, they do not rule for this.

The NRMA "back to back" for OO is given as 16.9mm, and that would clearly be for EM gauge, where 4mm scale runs on 18.83mm track.

It is the Tasmanian Government railways original 1909 Beyer Peacock Garrett that is now in the NRM at York.

I'd like to see the Fred Dibnah series shown on PBS.

A steam lovers delight!

Ref prior, I am not refering to finescale.

Mark: I do not cmpletely understand.

Surely if the back to back was less than NMRA standard, it would catch the opposing check rail and hold the offending wheel off derailing. The problem as I see it is more likely the wheels riding the check rails themselves.

I too lived in Boston 1950-1953, when "Charlie" was stuck on the MTA.

After choir practice in Copley Sq. I would ride the MTA before I had to arrive home. Saw a lot of stations!

British Locomotive "Lion" (1838) on location for the 1950's film "The Titfield Thunderbolt" on the Camerton branch line between Limpley Stoke and Hallatrow.
Loco in the background is the 14xx 0-4-2 No.1401.

Gene: I too would prefer Standard English.

However on the Horby Message Board it is specific in the Rules that nobody will be pulled-up for their spelling. I think there is good reasoning in that thinking.

Can we please ask that the TM lingo does not get out of hand.

Agreed.

A heading just for "Wiring" would be all embracing.

This is no secret find.

As Bernard Matthews would say, "BOOTYFUL"- (he with the 160,000 turkeys in Norfolk to be culled because of a bird-flu outbreak this w/e)

Join the string petitioning for a OO heading on this board.

Why not the new Phoenix 'Light Rail" - down the main drags of the valley cities.

Should be easy to reproduce the "jelly mould" design from the "Bauhaus School" of 1930's Germany!

I think they lost the opportunity of making a tourist attraction of it, unless they also import a few collector's items to run special sections downtown.
