Title: need help with narrow gage
Post by: mclarenman4ever on November 27, 2009, 10:53:07 AM
hi all,

i've decided to scratchbuild my own narrow gage engines, so i'm starting with my two favorite, sir handle and petet sam. i know that jack can help, but does anybody else have the answers to my question?

1.) what locomotive do i use?
2.) how much do they cost?
3.) what website has the body kits?
4.0 are any of the supplies american? or is it all uk?

Your asking questions for a kit bash. Scratch built is were you build everything. For example, you buy wood, scale corrugated metal, and build a shed in a scale.

Since they are Narrow Gauge, parts shouldn't be in kits. If you mean truly Narrow Gauge, that would be HOn3.

Do you mean your building them for HOn3 or HO?

Cheers,
Joshua
