16mm Scale

[16miller]

Am I the only 16mm Modeller on here?

Hi 16miller

Many moons ago I built SM32 locos and wagons for a chap's garden railway using Peco mechanisms for their 0-4-2 tram and Hunslet 0-4-0, they had planned to build a live steam railway but baulked at the cost of building the models and went for electric power. Unfortunately he is not on the forum and I have not heard from him since the time of the build- it got complex......

I had G scale in my last house... I have a very nice scratch built Spanish 1100-class 3ft gauge prototype diesel, like a 3ft gauge A class. I also had a somewhat more crude Majorcan railcar (1959 Creusot type), and a couple of carriages and a scratch built E class guards van. All in storage with Nephew right now - could resurrect if anyone was interested.

The line closed and was lifted at last house move.

Eoin - do you scratch build live steam?

[16miller]

Jnb, bring it to Bangor for a run!

Hi jhb

Yes I have dabble in live steam- Stuart stationary and bits, currently working on a 3.5" Northumbrian kit and have designed a 3.5" Hibernia!!- but both shelved for the moment with all the other stuff going on......

How many of you wish to see my 16mm models, admittedly Irish NG inspired but with the occasional genuine reproduction? 

[jhb171achill]

Me!

If I can ever get to Bangor!

I never painted it and the battery is probably done by now. It's in storage at Nephew's house. Must get it going again, right enough.. it's a fine beast of a machine.
