Turkey's goal @98:45 with +7 was one of the most ridiculous losses I've seen in a while.

Quote from: trkilliman on June 25, 2026, 08:20:28 PMA friend has moved up to O gauge due to his eyesight not so good as it was.
He has given me a whitemetal kit and chassis as in the subject title.

I have made up the body and cleaned up the gunk that was around the chassis cogs.

I'll look to buy a Tramfabriek replacement motor for it if it's not too large for the 13xx body?. Has anyone done this?

I'd be grateful for any advice, such as any problems encountered and how to solve them.

Thanks
Steve

yes--ive done one, it was my first attempt at a coreless conversion. Unfortunately i got it wrong--the position of the worm wasnt quite right . THe result is it runs beautifully forwards--but reverse means the loco body lifts up leans over and frog hops along.

Just had an email from West Hill Wagon Works advertising a range of 1500V Woodhead OHL structures. It would be nice to know if there's a 76 on the way from somebody.

With the unfortunate performances from England and Scotland, I feel the thread needs a joke to brighten our days.
