Does anyone make a kit for a 3.5 inch gauge locomotive by chance?
Can I ask why you want 3 1/2" ?

It's just quite a nice size with the added bonus that it would fit in the boot of my car

Having owned a 3.5" Juliet, I hope you realise you're in for a very steep learning curve...
I would recommend going for 5" gauge as its slightly bigger and everything is a lot easier on them unless you choose a rather large 3.5" loco.

I second this, a small 5" loco will happily go in your car.laurence703:78629 wrote:Having owned a 3.5" Juliet, I hope you realise you're in for a very steep learning curve...
