All the more reason to move to S scale. https://americanmodels.com/

Thank you. The GNR(I) loco book is a little sparse in A class details, not much beyond the wheelbase (7ft 3in+7ft 3in) but has a very nice drawing for the J class 440 though (Black Lion, Glencar).

Could I please post a request for the "A" class 060? Investigating a possible SLNCR project.......... Thank You

I printed 3 MGWR wagons for Paul as a trial print but I have not yet tried to print them in 4mm or 7mm but I will do soon(ish). I find they print better without a floor.

I haven't got any of the code 82 fb to work from but if anyone wants some sleeper bases and can supply a 6 inch length of rail as a sample then I am willing to give it a go. I used Peco code 75 for the previous batch of bases 'cos that is what I had to hand. Is there much difference in shape between the code 82 mentioned above and the Peco code 83 they use for the USA HO track?

Another one from the NLI Navan Saw Mills

It was fun to research and build as well. Good times but a long time ago

Plus VAT...........

https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000332372 Wasn't Killaloe extended through to Lough Derg and the loco shed resited in the 1890's?

I think the sleepers could do with a curved blade scraping along them to lose the ridge. I didn't think it would show up as much after painting. Sorry. Rob

Zoomed in a bit. I will have to keep a look out when browsing the NLI

You can get S Gauge Romford axles from the SSMRS, (standard gauge 0.884") but that is a bit too much (22.45mm). You can also get EM (18.2mm) axles. If you had lathe access you could chop two OO gauge axles to make one at 21mm gauge, chop each into 2, turn one down to make a spigot and drill a hole to suit in the other. Insert a into b with appropriate adhesive, ideally with the square ends held in a jig. Or drill a hole in each and put a pin in. Many ways to skin the proverbial Feline. For our electrically powered locos the squares don't have to be line up exactly but they do all need to be the same.

Paul, Sent you a couple of emails with Fleabay links.....

If you can manage with being 0.5mm oversize then would the Gibson 4855 LMS Jinty wheel 15 spoke pin in line do? Or the Sharman SW-S182 (4ft 7in 15 spoke)? Or just go with 14 spokes, you can't count them when they are turning! It is worth keeping an eye on the Bay of Flea for wheels. You might not get a set in one go but you can plug away at your shopping list one axle at a time.

Any use? Sharman Wheels I know the range is reducing but there may be something there.
