Ratio N-gauge, #226 Pump / Boiler House

I am very impressed with the quality and the amount of detail the kit parts contain. The kit is scaled to 1:148, 2mm, that is British n-gauge. The kit included eight plastic runners. Two for the chimney assemble, two for the stone and brick pump / boiler house structure, one that includes parts for a wooden shed an open rectangle shaped steal tank, one for the roof sections, one sprue includes wood trim parts, one holds spouting, and the last contains some miscellaneous detail parts, for instance, several wall mounted supply cabinets. In addition, scattered through-out on many of the sprue are other various auxiliary details.


Memories of Cheedale


This twenty-minute film was made by the Manchester Model Railway Society depicting their 2mm Finescale model railway which was called 'Chee Tor'. The film was originally filmed in 16mm in the early nineties and was recently digitized . The video includes some very nice narration and sound effects.

The kit includes fourteen white metal components. There is a seated driver in the cab and being as small has it is it is full of lovely detail.

There is Small and there is Minuscule

These Langley miniatures are in n-gauge (1:148) scale and are cast in white metal. These are my first n-gauge figures and they are very small, they are approximately 10mm high. Although I do own a n-gauge locomotive and tender and some n-gauge track my stock of n-gauge things is very limited.
