Oh, I can't help myself. Here's some more. Smile

Ignore the label on the shelf. These are NOT HO scale. Laughing

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. Very Happy

But I'm not sure about my modeling skills to such a small scale. Sad

That is an extraordinary model. May I add some of the blog images to the gallery for the website?

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. Sad

)

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.
Very Happy
