Re: The Emerald and Gembrook Creek Tramway in 16mm
Having fitted a couple of SSP Slomos I can safely say you will never get it to fit a Lady Anne running 32mm with insulated wheels (there is just not enough room).
Re: The Emerald and Gembrook Creek Tramway in 16mm
Thanks for the confirmation Tom_Tom_go. Funds permitting I might change the wheels as I'd like a slo-mo.
Until then I'll just have to be gentle on the regulator.

Very nice, the bridge looks like it will be rather impressive.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!

Bridge looks impressive. I see you have installed check rails for safety on the bridge.

Looking forward to it!
Great trestle, and a very spacious yard too which should make for great operations...
Cheers,
Andrew.

The trestle is impressive.
How long does something like that last outdoors before it requires repair or maintenance?
