sorry I'm only here so I will be notified of new jokes & if I find some I can add them.:wave:

Barry there is a very large 0 following in the uk, the 0 gauge guild I can't remember the web site now its too early in the morning about 2am! Google for the 0 gauge guild & see what comes up & its 0 zero not o the letter. Tony

thats because wwII gear is more interesting, for me anyway! a wwII sub has much more interesting bits & pieces than a modern nuclear streamlined sub. Ditto for ships, planes, vehicles etc. Now my grandkids will most probably want stuff from the 1980's-1990's, not that ancient stuff! same as us...

The piccy is of a model 55 sitting forlornly at the rail museum. This page gives more info South Australian Railways Passenger Carriage Home Page Information

well almost the same

Hi Ron snap Looks like Brill did the model T in railcars opposite sides of the world & they look the same. Tony

Think back a year or 1&1/2 years the Marklin museum was broken into & a lot of stuff was stolen. Same with Live steam in the UK some good quality locos & rolling stock have been stolen. I looks like made to order theft, really is hitting the model railway scene, or there are organized druggies...

I might have something BUT is a Canadian model 55 the same as a model 55 as used on the SAR. when I find my way home I have a look & post it someone else may be able to tell Tony

HEY you haven't worked it out? over 50% of the population is stupid! the international railway crossing symbol is a steam loco, not a black rectangle, unless they are blind they would have to have seen the symbol. next silly question why can a steam loco pull a train it can't start,& why...

I'm asking around, someone will know who or where drawings reside, HO trackwork & running gear?

Thankyou sir! I know the boxcar, I read it as a POW car as used by the US, not for US personnel. But the rest of the show was great. Tony

Hi did you get any piccys of the POW car, I would be interested in seeing them please. Tony Sth Oz

from Deutsche Eisenbahn Geschutze by Taube Krupp designed a loco to move the Dora two small diseasals A-B units, into a firing posn. Steam locos were used to transport the gun to the assembly point, they even towed the diseasals*. But the Dora had no motive power of its own, save the loading...

I will try to decypher the german text in my "eisenbahngeschutz" book, it shows a transverse track but I do not recall any radius given, nor do the plans of the Dora. The K5e used a curved track when available, it saved the engineers setting up the vogel turntable Tony

Agreed lets see "the experts":mrgreen: try to get it around a 2' radius curve. Even I would need 80' radius curves to even think about it, my 1/32 railgun needs 10' radius, will just do 8' slowly but the flanges try to climb the rails. Tony

Hi were you part of the team that came to Adelaide? Tony

at wot gage? :confused: 45 mm Gauge 1 will require about 1/20 scale loco 32mm 0 gauge =3' or 900mm track about 1/24 scale ho track will give you 600mm in 1/32 ho-rrible track goes well with gauge 1 as a feeder line. z gauge looks like a club /model engineers track

The Deutz company claim to have built 23,000 locomotives before 1966, catering for a world wide market. The book 'Auf schmaler Spur am Bergwerk' about the Grube Fortuna line gives the following for the Deutz 117 Length - 2560 Width - 1100 Height - 1410 no cab or they used gnomes, as...

Hi I would like to get a copy too when finished. my small catapult used to annoy the cat, was somehow destroyed while I slept one night, the claw marks tended to prove who but the cat denied any invovement.
