4mm wagon baseplates and Alex Jackson coupling jigs from Ralph Robertson
Ralph has devised an easy to assemble etched baseplate suitable for wheelbases from 8' to 12' to speed the construction of the 100+ wagons needed on the Society's P4 layout. These are available to non-members at £3 for 3 plus 75p postage. Full details of this and a range of jigs to help construct Alex Jackson couplings are at http://www.palatinemodels.co.uk/

Two Mainline 7 plank open wagons with large GW, different numbers £5 each
Two Mainline guards' vans, different numbers and depot names (Cardiff, Taunton) £6 each
|
00 gauge Great Western wagons in excellent condition and in original boxes but with modified couplings. The open wagons have Sprat and Winkle couplings at one end and the original tension lock (Hornby type) at the other.
When coupled as a pair they can have either type facing outwards.
The guards' vans have Sprat and Winkles at one end and a bar across the buffers at the other. |
4mm 00 gauge
Two Slater's 7 plank open wagons, assembled from kits and painted. One represents an end-door wagon. Metal buffers, 3 link couplings fitted, can supply Hornby type for you to fit if required.
£5 each or £9 the pair |
|
4mm 00 gauge
Great Western shunter's truck built from a plastic kit - unsure of the make. Fitted with 3 link couplings - can supply Hornby type couplings for you to fit if required.
£5 |
|
Two Bachmann Spectrum US 0n30 4-4-0 locos with 8 wheel tenders, dcc and sound equipped. Well-detailed to the usual Bachmann standards. Fitted Kadee type magnetic couplings to front and rear.
US 0 is 0.25 inches to the foot, so not quite as big as the UK 7mm to the foot. Narrow gauge, so they run on 16.5mm gauge track, the same as 00 or H0 gauge. |
|
There are variations between the two locos which can be seen in the photographs. One is lettered Turtle Creek Central (the word Central has rubbed off on the right-hand side), has a bigger stack (chimney), a wood cab and extra painting detail. The unlettered loco has a narrow stack and steel cab.
Both locos have two crew members, a dummy wood pile on the tender and working front and rear headlights. |
|
Each loco is 12" long over the couplings.
They operate under dcc with very good motor control. There is the usual array of sounds - bells, whistles, steam hiss, water filling, coupling clank, "all aboard" from the conductor and steam chuff.
By adjusting the various cvs I have pretty well managed to synchronise the momovement of the loco and the chuff sounds.
As with any dcc system it is possible to vary the sounds in all sorts of ways by adjusting the cvs, and the manufacturer's information sheet detailing the cvs and functions is included. The sound can be switched off or muted, but it seems a bit of a waste to do that. |
|
The locos will also operate under dc control, running smoothly and quietly with the lights coming on according to direction. There is no sound under dc.
I have run them around 15" radius curves, but there is a lot of overhang and it would be better to use a larger radius if you can. |
|
Asking price is £99 each, or £190 for the two, a bargain for this quality.
Can demonstrate them at home or at the MMRS Dean Hall, both in South Manchester.
I can e-mail enlarged photographs if required. |
