If you have 45mm and 32mm dual gauge you can run "N", 9mm, on the narrow gauge. Robb in MI ||<--Ga 1->|| ||<-- O >||<--N--->|| ||<--Ga 1->||<-HO->|| ||<--Ga 2---||->||
Re: message
Pete, Great thinking--very interesting! So now I assume you will be ordering the Hornby live steam since you have "track in place"! You caused me to measure my 4-3/4--3-1/2" but since I was generous with the 3-1/2" track to accomodate the Britannia I only have 30mm--or I would be good for 32mm for my friends' N.G 7/8" scale locos. Well, I have lots of HO track, so what is my excuse!--order 2 On the other hand we could all lay an extra rail on our 45mm track for gauge 2 and HO it would serve a dual purpose--'Triple gauge"--sort of!!

Geoff ... When I first set rail to tie on the East Serendipity Railway these many years ago I never thought I would be such a trend setter ... having built dual gauge track with gauges 1 and 2 some years ago, I was pleased to discover that with the rail width used I was left with about 16.5mm (i.e. HO gauge) between the two rails opposite the common rail.

Just to be pedantic, the scale is "00" - 4mm/ft running on 16.5mm track, the same gauge as HO at 3.5mm/ft. I know a man who knows a man who has seen it running and it really is quite impressive. As the cylinder bore must be extremely small (3/16" perhaps?) it might prove a bit of a handful to control running light, but with 10 or 12 Pullmans behind it, it should be quite a sight. My local dealer has ordered some for Christmas delivery and they're already all sold. I believe the price is about UKP500. Mike

Gary Broeder (by way of Dave Cole) wrote: I have read of electrically heated steam many years ago in the larger scales but I think this is a first for HO. Interesting, I've heard of steam locomotives being built by hobbyists as small as N gauge, but I've never heard of one going into production and actually being manufactured.
