Scale and loading gauge, it's a funny thing.

Description

Top row- Lynton & Barnstable Van (Tenmille-seen in A Close Shave), G Bachmann S.C.Ruffey, Welshpool & Llanfair open wagon (Accucraft) TR slate wagon (Perfect World) Corris slate wagon (P.S Models), Dropside wagon (Garden Railway Specialists)
Middle Row- TR coach No 1-3 (I P Engineering), Freelance bogie wagon (Swift Sixteen), TR coach No.10 (I P Engineering)
Bottom row- Lynton & Barnstable 4ton open wagon (Accucraft-seen in Season 2-6 & TUGS) and 8ton bogie wagon (Accucrcaft-seen in Henry's Forrest).

Reason i'm posting these recent acquisitions I suppose is for any Sudrian modellers working in 'garden' scale. The L&B wagons and van are too narrow for my Gauge 3 (UK) track but being 16mm scale narrow gauge I imagine you could convert them to run amongst Bachmann's G range as the wheels are already 45mm gauge and the buffer spacing is a doddle to drill out. Can't recommend Accucraft's products enough in terms of quality and I picked up three of their bogies, the one open above and four of the Welshpool & Llanfair opens at their open day clearance sale yesterday :) The latter are to be re-gauged for Sodor and Mainland stock as they're wide enough for my wants but the L&Y stuff is both too big for the SR/MSR loading gauge and too small for G3. They'll still be a little stubby but the plan is to replace the ends and floor on each and then make them wider, maybe they'll become Wellsworth & Suddery stock or even NWR in an à la TV livery.

I personally wish that there are model era style Gauge 1 Thomas models available
in the retail market.
