A new project discussion board has been added to this Forum but will only be visible to Forum members who are actively involved in this project (known as "Venture") to produce a live steam kit for a LNWR 18in. Goods 0-6-0 (a design commonly referred to as a 'Cauliflower').
IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING FORUM MEMBER and are registered with this project, you will need to be placed in a special "membergroup" to be able to view this new board.
I have already re-classified as many existing Forum members as I have been able to identify by their e-mail address but if I have missed anyone, please email
webmaster@gauge3.org.uk and I will make the necessary alteration.
This new board will be for the upload of drawings and images and consequent discussion of the specifications for the components of this locomotive kit.
This is a Gauge 3 Society project to produce an affordable but high quality kit, which will be fully-machined and require only minimal assembly skills. Current estimate of the cost of this accurate scale model (2-cylinders with working 'Joy' valve gear...as per prototype... and gas-fired boiler, axle-driven boiler water feed) is less than 2500GBP.
If you would be interested in subscribing to this project (through a commitment to purchase the kit when ready....a preliminary deposit would be required) please contact Mike Williams
