N Gauge Discussion / Re: New Peco wagons
Last post by bluedepot - Today at 07:52:53 AM
thanks ian!

i may pick up a few.

glad peco are producing more.

they won't be as detailed and accurate as other manufacturers due to shared underframes but can still be a useful and more budget friendly option.

I must say, at those prices they seem like good value. But yes hopefully the socket issue has been addressed.

Probably my very first 3 purchases in N gauge - Minitrix Ivatt 2MT, 9F and Britannia. All still running well albeit noisier than more recent offerings

I acquired a LMS black Jubilee "Renown" at a toy fair when I lived in Geneva ... ... I was hoping to build it a train of Howarth Stanier coach kits but the project t got sidelined by life in general and I had to wait until Farish finally produced their Stanier coaches before I could finally run it with a proper train ... by which time the layout was in storage in the garage and infested by mice and spiders ... so the dining table oval had to suffice! https://flic.kr/p/qzv44o

Quote from: cmason on Yesterday at 04:42:55 PMI do have a question to the collective expertise of the Forum. The manual refers to them as Jubilee Locomotive "MKIII" - is their some history of different variants over time? Was there a MKI and MKII?

Roy L S seems to have covered the variations here;

https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?msg=867222

The gear coupled ones of which he speaks had their coupling rods only fixed firmly to the centre wheels, with forked ends engaging over the leading wheels' crankpins. The rods only "hovered" over the trailing wheels with a dummy boss stamped into the rod.

Thanks @chrism - very interesting - so a jewel case MkIII dates these to 1977/8 when I was in the lower 6th form. Coming up to 50 years ago,

Colin.
