Amazing stuff in N gauge (may be slow to load): http://stummiforum.de/viewtopic.php?p=547403#p547403 Thanks to Jim S-W for the link. |

And well worth the wait. I notice that the layout includes one of those unusual looking, Germanic outside double-slips, that sometimes get mentioned on Templot. It looks hand-made and obviously works. An incentive for some of our N Scale modellers? Roger Brisbane |

Really great scenic stuff. But I'm never convinced by the finish on model German locomotives. The red in particular looks too plasticy. A touch of matt varnish or something might help. | ||

Martin, Do you know what track and wheel standards are being used? I've gone through several pages of the forum thread but can't see any details of them. I thought it might be FS160 but I get the feeling that some of the check rail gaps are finer than 0.5mm if the Code 40 rail has a 0.5mm head. But some really superb modelling - including the water under the bridges on Page 2 and 3 of the thread. I used FoxLingo in Firefox to do the translating - it gets close enough to get the gist of what's being said. Jim. |

Just found out from a response on the 2mm Scale mailing list that the wheel standards are FS160, or the same as 2mmFS with reduced gauge. But the modeller makes non-operating, scenic dioramas and the track is probably built to exact scale as a model, but not actually used for operating. That also might explain why his locomotives are not quite up to the same standard as the rest of his modelling - i.e. they are a sort of necessary evil to complete his scenic masterpieces. . Jim. |
