Title: Rail based plant machinery.......is there anything out there??
Post by: RyanHussey on July 08, 2022, 06:05:22 PM
Firstly thank yous go to all the welcoming committee that I have received.
As a trucker I often see plenty of interesting kit on the back of wagons up and down the motorways and stuck on the side of railway lines, my elevated driving position certainly helps out!
I have a few oo gauge die-cast models, mainly the Stobart rail range which always looked good sat beside bits of the old layout but wondering if there's a great supply of these in N gauge????
The Oxford die-cast range certainly isn't as vast but a very hefty amount of Stobart so wondering what's out there??
I'm guessing kit stuff isn't there but 3d printing or manufacturers I'm not aware of.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ryan

@exmouthcraig (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=5099) and myself are arranging for various 3D prints from the ebay seller Snoci-73. He has printed various special items for us, drop him a line via ebay and I am sure he will provide you with what you need. Have a look at the topic thread  "3D Printed Construction Plant " under the vehicles section on the forum to get an idea of what can be  done

:thumbsup:

Brilliant thank you.

Using the search bar at the top of the page everything with "plant" or "machinery" threw up lots of exmouthcraigs stuff.
I should probably go through them in detail!!

If you're after tampers or ballast regulators then Greenmax do these in N.  They are in Japan but Osborns have them on their website.  It would be worth checking availability before ordering.  Alternatively have a look a Hobby Search in Japan, but remember to allow for taxes and higher postage costs.
