Several days ago someone asked about a railcar photo. I believe that Backwoods Miniatures is introducing a new railcar/critter. I'm not affiliated in any way, just thought someone here might be interested in it. |

Thanks for the link Dave. I've been told that some of my front pilots are heavy on my critters. Well that one proto from your link realy has a heavy duty pilot. 
That's one of those times when you can prove there is one of everything somewhere.

Thanks Dave, that answers my questions, and maybe I could find a way to cut and splice the chain to bring it closer in some if I had to. |

Hi Andy,
I guess it might have been because I'm from Australia - you know, one of those old Convicts...[:-ghost]
Seriously though, the lady was very helpful, and apologised for not getting back sooner: it makes me feel as though I OWE them the purchase of a gear and chain set, just for the trouble they went to....
Oh well......

w'hay, nice to see they replied to you with some info john, all i got was "If that information is not detailed on our website under O scale Accessories then I cant answer your question, sorry.
All I can only tell you is the OGD-2 is designed to replace when worn the DJH range of O scale Motor/Gearboxes Perkins/Napier/Merlin for DJH kits.
Only the Perkins is still in production , all other motor/gearboxes have been discontinued , but we continue to stock and sell OGD-2 for after sales / wear & tear."
pfft what did you send to them to get such a nice reply? :P
shame to see its over scale though |
