What gauge and how many axles?

Yes As he says he knows what it is. A money tree if somebody is stupid enough to buy it. like the seller "Gostude" any item that is not boxed and fully documented or has an R number is obviously Rare and expensive. But really they do not have a clue. Just look at his listed OO TT 009 items (all describing same thing?) even if they are old (1960s) Gem 5.5 items.

He doesn't seem to be getting the message.

I told him. I do not know what it is but it not CDR The type is wrong they never had an 0=6-0 The Gauge is wrong it should be 12mm The colour is wrong. His reply. New message from: atmodels18 (470) Hi Don't need you to message thank you I know what it is!

Yes. As already stated. But those of that use this scale don't use them, as they have no auto uncouple feature, and are hard to use. Most use proprietary Greenwich, KD;s, Bemo, Peco couplings.

The paint supplied is slightly darker than on my screen at least. The Donegal style railcar (Long Cab and Articulated body are knock off copies of the old Anbrico unit but you do not get the wheels or trucks that you used to.)

hi Colin County Donegal here

@jhb171achill It would be useful as we don,t yet have confirmed sizes.

Thanks @airfixfan We have the artwork, it;s just that the photos do not have a scale ruler on them so we need the sizes.

just seen this but be quick Murphy Models MM0135 C.I.E class 121 diesel locomotive. Grey. No B135. Boxed. | eBay

Asking for help, This has recently been posted on the OOn3 forum from our resident transfer maker. Dear all, > > I hope to print some railway crests soon. Could someone please confirm > sizes for the Donegal roundel, Great Southern garter crest and IOM > logo? > The artwork is almost ready to go, but the photos I have been working > from do not have a scale alongside! > Simon @ Old Time Workshop Anyone got the answers?

If they are Ill have some too.

The large casting Is a frame end with the coupling hole in the centre, the other end (lowest right piece in close up) does not have the dropper parts. The kits for the other 2 wagons had frame ends cast in resin.

Right then, To start with if the wheels will move on the axles then yes, just move both wheels in by 3,75mm to give a narrower back to back. If they are plastic wheels moulded as part of the axle your a Turkey at Christmas to start with. A convenient check gauge is the long side of the Earth pin from a UK 3 pin plug, but you have to get it central. (So as not to unbalance the wagon). Then again a standard UK mainline wagon will look quite large for OO9 (00 scale on 9mm track} for UK use, some Continental, South African, Australian stuff ran larger loading gauges, on 2 foot gauge but size wise you are nearer to OOn3 (00 on 12mm track) for 3 foot gauge prototypes (eg. Irish Narrow gauge and the Isle of Man, ) than anything that originally ran in the UK But as the main reason for UK narrow gauge was limited clearances and tight curves, a large piece of rolling stock is a major drawback. To get more of an idea about 009 and other narrow gauge I suggest joining (Just click on the above)

Find a Towbar centre. or car spares (Do you have HALFORDS etc) The cable is sold by the meter, and you get 7 colours (Including red and black.) just strip the outer. For thinner wires, A charity shop is the place to go, Old SCART cables have up to 20 cores and only cost a few pence each when stripped out.

Coming from an electronics background, I have 2 Weller Iroms (So I do not have to wait for them to cool down before changing tips), A Hot Air Rework Station and temp controlled Iron. For modelling purposes I also have 3 small gas powered Torches/Soldering pens (Again for changing tips). And a Chefs Creme Brulet Torch (Usefull for laminating coach/van side etches with low melt solder paste) I could do the above repair in 2 minutes. My previous answer was based purely on how the question was asked.

The silver glue (previously called silver paint and used for repairing tracks on PCBs or the heated rear screens on cars when they get scratched) will conduct electricity when dry but is useless for a physical strength bond. the alternative is low melt solder and an oven (but that may not be practical in this case) more suited to large circuit boards and chips than parts enclosed in plastic cases.

Enjoy it, I have just got back from there after a 10 day stay for the celebrations.

Add me to the customer list (If they are) and fairly certain that @Lynbarn would be interested as well.

I'm going for the TRANSPORT FESTIVAL WEEK at the end of JULY If you are there next week you are going to be a bit disappointed. https://www.iombusandrail.im/media/2711/iom-year-of-the-railways-2023-event-program.pdf
