N-Train

The most well laid plans.................

Just getting ready to continue the project, and I loose my day job. A bit of a cramp on the project as cash flow has been severely restricted.

Work is continuing, but at a much slower pace.

I have had an offer of help in looking at injection moulding. I have a machine, but not the knowledge. I am trying to set up the workspace and see where this may take me.

My three months in the N gauge desert are at an end, and work is due to re-start on the chassis project. Brand new chassis masters are about to be machined and drive shafts ordered ready for production of an initial test batch.

Carl has given me a plug on the Yahoo N-Mod group. I am developing a chassis for early DMU's but it is waiting for new drive shafts to be made and tested.

I am looking at a design for the Cl 142, but that is some time away.

I am trying to develop my own range of N Gauge model railway products, in co-operation with various other 'Cottage' industries.

It is my hope to have a number of motorised chassis and body kits available some time in the new year.

Specific body kits under development are the Class 313 range of EMU's, Class 317, Class 323, Class 142 and the Blue Pullman.
