Oh, I can't help myself. Here's some more.
Ignore the label on the shelf. These are NOT HO scale.
Here's a real one (preserved) on a train here at Stratford. The small locomotive at the front of the train being the type Paul has modelled in T gauge / scale. The preserved one has a narrower yellow stripe that only a few had when delivered in 1955. Apparently they were quickly repainted with the standard wide stripe.

Seeing these makes me wish I could model Queensland Rolling Stock to this scale.
But I'm not sure about my modeling skills to such a small scale. |

I'm already hearing whispers of N scale kit makers showing interest in T gauge. Who knows what the future may hold in that area?
The fact is that modellers all over the world are going to want models of their local trains in this scale. KK Eishindo will not be able to cater for everyone. I believe this is one of the reasons the next generation of models will have bodies that are easily removable and where the mechanism is self-contained (unlike the 103 units). It will make it easier for modellers to place their own bodies on the mechanisms to produce models not otherwise available. _________________ Darren,

David, I can certainly give you permission to use the photos above. No doubt Paul and Adrian can let you know about the blog images.
Mr Hirai was certainly impressed by these models too. _________________ Darren,

I kinda ment the overall modeling.
These carriages and loco for there size have such details, that I feel I can never really achieve even if I had the tools.
My Hands are too clumbsy for such fine detail.
(You should see the paint job on my 5inch Tram. )
So my Hat goes off to you guys for achieveing such feats |

PERMISSION GRANTED Mr Smith!!
I have been speaking to a well known manufacturer of N scale products here in Australia who has shown a lot of interest in producing T-Gauge locomotives and rolling stock. However in order to do this he will require access to spare sparts.....bogies, couplers etc. I brought up the topic of spare parts with Mr Hirai and he said that these too will be available. A list of these will be prepared and hopefully published soon.

gday all!! wow, what an exciting day yesterday!!!!!!!! over the next month, i intend belting out a LOT of victorian t gauge!!, now i have just brought my first set. i will also be modeling at sandown and morwell exhibitions, where ill be promoting this awsome little scale like crazy! the flex track is BRILLAINT!! i cant wait to buy heeeeaaps of it! i plan a very vey long layout of iconic victorian locations, timbered forests, big hills, deep cuttings & land fills, & all sorts of huge trestle, girder, & concrete bridges. but first, to get started on the 2nd flatt top t, & the other 2 series, 2 & 3. then perhaps a derm, when the new 9000 becomes available. ozrail, i urge you not to doubt your modeling ability, especially if you havnt modeld in t yet? altho im fortunate to have access to a sign plotter at work, i still had a feeling, "this is to small to work, but ill give it a go anyway" what do we have to loose!!? theres many different, and even new motheds to building in this fun scale, im sure you could surprise yourself, as did i. any questions, ideas, ect. about any part of modeling, please feel free to ask. thats what this wonderful sites all about. |
