Such as using O scale on G gauge track, OO on O, or N on OO?
Thanks,

Steve Bennett wrote:I wasnt going to share this yet, but couldnt resist. 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.

It looks great.

Ideal for a fast line?
