Hi all

Here are some pics of the new Garratt Locomotive I've built this year.
The model is at 1:20.3 scale.
The trucks come from 4-6-0 steam locomotives.
The bodies and the frames ara mainly made of styrene sheets and strips, and PVC pipes.
The figures are made of resin.
Length OA : 43" (1.10 m)
Width : 5.1" (13 cm)
Height : 8.5" (21.5 cm)

More pics on the Brest Mini Rail website if you clic on both pics below.

Hello everybody

Last week I modified couplers height on my Big Haulers cars :
98570 20' wood ore car
95770 20' low side gondola

Couplers of both are now 8 mm higher and compatible with Spectrum Fn3 rolling stock.
These modifications are very easy.

Some more pics on my website. Just clic on pics below.

Hello

I would like very much include the wonderfull K-27 to my indoor layout, but I don't know if it can turn on my turntable.
Then, I need help for few measures :
- overall length of the loco including tender and couplings,
- wheelbase (dist. between front wheels axles of the loco and rear wheels axle of the tender)

Thanks for help
