Looks good :) The chassis kits are good, I'm halfway through painting mine and should be starting to build the body soon! How many wagons do you find it will pull? I've only hauled 3 trucks using 2 1.5v batterys at the moment, and that worked fine :D I have to agree with your son, the body needs pai...

Looks like I'm scratch building the lot

Oh well, maybe another time

An area of the forum where we can call dibs on ebay items between us, sounds good

There's also a semi-matching bogie coach but that's already on £33.50. I'm disappointed but at this moment in time am absolutly pushed for cash [being unemployed helps little!] Still, I am grateful I have secured the matching five. Someone put £30 on one!!  :evil: ADDENDUM: £42 for a Mamod coach?! ...

Thanks guys
I think once I have painted it it might have a roll around in the mud

Well more work has been done today, I have sanded the round ends off (which was easier than I thought) and added more coffee stirrers onto the edges to make the appearance a bit better, these still need sanding down a bit more. I've also added some diagonal ones across the middle just for the sake o...

Thanks for that Graeme, I was wondering what they were, couldn't find anywhere that said these.

What are the actual values for the radius of curves in 16mm scale, R1, R2 etc?

Hi,

Hello, After my brief introduction, I thought it would be best to start a thread showing my work on my stock etc. Firstly, I have started painting the I.P. Engineering chassis Kit, which has had a few coats by hand, it still needs rubbing down for the final spray coat, to give a nicer finish; http:/...

I can't see the video shame it looks to be a good one, but it says its private?

Does this count? £10 for this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16MM-OPEN-WAGON-32MM-TRACK-FREELANCE-SCRATCHBUILT-/160537991340?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2560cf58ac :D I've bought 4 of his wagons, two open and two covered, and they are quite well made actually, and I reckon they are a bargain c...

Il'l second 4QD speed controllers, I've got one in my 5" gauge railbus and I think they are great!

Great, I was at Narrow Gauge North yesterday and even bought stuff from the I.P. stand, and somehow I missed these

Oh, and its the diesel, just to be sure!

Hi Guys, I'm just getting started in SM32 and have bought a I.P engineering chassis kit, which is now fully assembled and awaiting painting :twisted: I am going to be scratch building the body, and would like to base it somewhere along the lines of a 'Jack'. Could anyone do me a big favour and measu...
