By the way, Mallard ran light back to Donnie, she wasn't towed!

Chris,
Rather than hunt through my back collections of UK mags, I found a couple of sites that might be of interest to you:-

The unpainted Versions come with three types of headlight  and a choice of pilot trucks Inside bearing or Outside bearing.
They also have the old type archbar rear truck and flared Tender
Depending on whether you buy the Inside frame or the outside frame versions determines whether you get a non-flared tender with Air pump ( Inside frame) or Flared tender/no air pump ( outside frame)

I mentioned earlier how I can back sixty pieces of rolling stock through eight turnouts & double crossovers in succession, at scale speeds in excess of 50 mph.
Unquote.

Hmmm, not exactly protypical is it?
And don't forget OO is geared towards the British modeller who rarely has the luxury of running trains anywhere near that layout size in the average UK House - true a few Model railway clubs could possibly achieve a train set of that length, but they'd get laughed out of the hall if they tried your trick.

Still it is nice to know all my 0n30 stock runs very well on my "Peco, Hornby,Airfix, Mainline, Lima track, even Bachmann EZ track"
;D ;D

Hmmmm. NMRA -  National Model Railroad Association.
Definition of National
Characteristic of or peculiar to the people of a nation;
Limited to or in the interests of a particular nation;
Of or relating to or belonging to a nation or country.

ie We Brits don't have to abide by your national standards as our OO is peculiar to us! ;D
#83
And just why should we have to pander to the NMRA ?
All Hornby and  Bachmann wheelsets are to RP25 standards and they run fine on my my Peco, Hornby,Airfix, Mainline, Lima track, even Bachmann EZ track.
Peco track was built for the european market, just so happens a lot of other people like Peco track - perhaps it is your NMRA track that is out of standard to the rest of the world?

OO and Large Scale = DC - Too many locos in OO to convert and don't run the large scale often enough to warrant it.

On30 = DCC - Decided to go down the path from the day I started in On30 - and i love the sound, especially from the Tsunamis!!

UK OO is 4mm:1 Foot SCALE, running on HO/OO GAUGE track of 16.5 mm
My collection of 90 OO locos ( Triang,Airfix, Hornby,Lima,Mainline, Bachmann ) all prefer code 100 rail, and No, we Brits don't put up with derailments.

I too find the images on here too small, so you can see some of my work on:http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/dandgbathome
This is a public gallery, so be on your best behaviour! :D
No layout as yet - too busy having fun building stuff!

Hmmm.....
That's what I tried to do with my Picasa2 hosting site, I now see the pitfall >:(, Picasa doesn't give the image a '.jpg' tag.
So here's another go....

If it works, thanks for your help - if it don't, then back to the drawing board ???
