Gonna have to keep an eye out for that article. Sounds like a future project ( or three! ).

The Wuiske Models are pretty easy to convert from HOn3.5 to Hon3. Takes about 10 or 15 minutes. Mike May and I have an article submitted to The Gazette a couple of months ago on models we both

Re: July RMC Editorial on NG diesels
Zach,
From your business base of HO standard gauge customers, I can see where you might think narrow gauge modeling is in a decline, but that isn't the case.
I do agree with your comment about not

Re: July RMC Editorial on NG diesels
The Wuiske diesels are nice but pretty expensive to experiment with, plus they represent heavy mainline service. If you were looking for heavy power, it would be cheaper to go this route:

Mark,
I must admit I am not well educated on the subject. I have been doing commercial model building work for about 5 years now and almost everything I'm commissioned for is HO standard gauge. When

This was mentioned, mostly about the fact someone is making them. I've seen the Shapeways ones as well, although I haven't bought one.

Zack Pabis,
In your post above, regarding your building of WP&Y diesel units in HOn3...why did you say...."With waning interest for narrow gauge stuff ".....?????
What waning interest? Where did

Re: WTB-Drop Bottom Gondola
I built and sold 38 NG diesels converted from Bachmann 70t std. ga. models w/DCC and LED reversible lighting using a NWSL kit. Some had sound as well. The detail was very good and they ran very well.

Re: July RMC Editorial on NG diesels
I think one needs to consider whether a run of WP&Y diesels in HOn3 would sell around 1000 items (minimum)? If not, then it’s not going to happen. Even if they were to do them also in fantasy Rio

Wuiske Models offers 5 different HOm (12mm gauge) RTR Queensland Railways diesels, all with a strong EMD look. I have not determined how difficult it is to re-gauge them to

Re: NMRA Hon3 Mark IV Standards Guage
When I first joined the NMRA in 1965 or 1966 my primary scale/guage was Hon3 and the NMRA sent me a square Hon3 standards guage. it was 5/8" square, more or less. Anyone remember those?

Mk III for HOn3, Mk IV or V for other scale/gauges. The NMRA haven't updated their HOn3 gauge...yet. Not that it should make any difference, as the physical.distances are set in the standards. Ask the
