In reply to survey

Im in the prosses of building a freelance 30inch commen carrier in the mountainous area of Victoria ( Australia ) with a sea port at on end.
Victoria is noted for 30inch railways ( Ie Puffing billy near Melbourne )
My fleet of freight wagons compries of it bashed Bachmann stock to look like local products.
the current list is
12 box cars , 2 tankers 4 wooden gons ( converted to 4 board with doors ) , 7 bulk head flats , 2 flats , 4 cattle , 3 modified cabooses, 3 combines , 2 coaches , 1 Obsevation car .
3 2-8-0s  2 shays and 1 0-4-2 porter. I also have a Bachmann branchline 08 which i am using for a diesel hydraulic loco.
I have an area of 20 x 20 and am planning to have L girder around the walls with a peninsula in the middle. Built to be end to end operation, but with the option of continuous running.

Hello

whilst looking on the Peco site , I noticed that they have anounced that they will be producing a On 30 turntable. There is a photo of it and in measures 305mm long , which is 12 inches in length. It is a bit short but it will hold quite neatly the bachmann Of 2-8-0.It also has a nice timber deck and looks great.

hope its been helpful

Their is an excellent artical in NGSL Gazette May/june 2002 by Thomas A. Yorke page 29 which he converts a combine to 23ft 4incn (in scale feet ) which you could use for the standard coach as well.Its very easy to follow
and the end result is very good. Hope that has helped

hi
I have currently in my fleet 3   2-8-0s and I am wanting to remove the rear wall. After a long study of the engine and spread sheet I am unable to work out how to remove it. Has anyone removed one and how did you do it?  Can any one help. Thanks

  Hello Im new to the list and I would like to express my delight at the fine new addition of a fiesty little 4-4-0 to the range. For those like myself who go for freelance its going to be warmly welcomed. One question Bach mann, do you plan on producing another caboose? Again well done Bach mann .
