Here’s a few photos from our November meeting. Thanks to Nigel for the pics.

Our November meeting saw three 2FS Terriers stretching their legs on Nigel's test track.

Peter's Terrier has a scratchbuilt chassis. The body was rebuilt after it was demolished by a sheet of plate glass!

The scratch built chassis uses Association wheels but retains the Dapol motor.

For our May meeting we hired the larger room at our meeting venue and several members took advantage of the extra space to bring along their layouts.

...which works as simply as this.

Thanks to Nigel for the photos.

Here’s a picture of my first fs160 turnout

It’s not pretty , particularly the moving tie-bar, but it is only destined for the test track. It was built to test out the fs160 gauges kindly made for me by Alan Smith.

For those that don’t know, fs160 takes the 2mm Scale Association standards and adjusts them for 9mm gauge track at a scale of 1:160 (where 9mm is correct for standard gauge).  It is intended for European and American standard gauge prototypes but could just as easily be used for 3mm or 4mm scale narrow gauge modelling.

Further details and a full set of standards for standard and narrow gauge can be found at http://www.fs160.eu/
