ready?(youknow There's a very useful article on fitting a DCC decoder to a Bachmann 08 at:-

Who wants an 08 that looks like a piece of cake? ;-)

Blimey... tenuous, John!

John,
Haven't we got the queen, and the country mixed up? - Marie Antoinette and France :-)
Jim.

Same with Marie Antoinette in France.

In message , John Turner writes I thought that was Marie Antoinette and the population of France.

anythign else thatcould make a scottish tmd home?
Rob, It does (or Did) say against each loco on the Bachmann web pages.. I guess you just missed it... The 08 No, but not too difficult to do. 37 and 20 Yes P'N'P.

As I recall it, terms such as "0-16.5", "009", (together with such miscegenations as "SM32", etc.) were invented by Peco because they were unable to cope with the previous narrow-gauge designations of 00n3 or 00n2½ etc., which usually ran on the same gauge track even though the prototypes ran on different gauge track. It's odd how they can cope with 4mm scale models of Irish prototypes running on 16.5 mm. gauge track instead of 21 mm., and British standard gauge running on 16.5 mm. instead of 19 mm. without different designations.
I was thinking of building a narrow gauge line to go with my standard gauge line in the garden. I was thinking of modelling a 3' 6" gauge line, but running it on track that is 7.5 inches too wide. Nobody should object to this considering my standard gauge track is 7 inches too narrow. Obviously I need a name for the track gauge, and the only thing to call it is 00-16.5. Dual-gauge trackwork might be a bit difficult to construct, but I think I can cope with that.
Incidentally, you don't see overseas magazines referring to narrow-gauge lines as "0-16.5", "H0-9", etc.
