Steve Bennett wrote:After a weekend of feverish activity, last night I put together what I believe is the first kit in G scale which runs on 9mm gauge track, Gnine as Ian has christened it. Built around a Bachmann Plymouth mechanism which should give good, reliable running. Not based on any particular prototype, but not quite got a home built feel to it either, so I guess it would have to be termed freelancelike a lot of miniature stuff. As you will see, this is tiny, it is only 57mm long, 27mm wide and 43mm to the top of the hood. Anyway, a few quick pics of the first test build, more details and pics with a proper paint job over the coming days.

Catweasel wrote:Yup. Ireckon you could be numero uno with a Gnine kit. Have you a name yet? I reckon something like Gtiny would do itIt's Looking good Steve.Imagineeringing is what it's all about. One thing though,if Gn15 is LARGE scale ,small space, what does that make Gnine. LARGE scale,pocket size

I can build that mock-up of my garden ride-on railway proposal now!
I think Gnine is good.. or G9?
ian holmes wrote:The way I look at it (at http://gnine.info/ )
Gnine covers any garden railway scale that uses 9mm track I've listed most of them there. Its a catch all basically.
G9 is an exact scale![]()
![]()
that would represent 7.27" gauge
