A shot of Kevinâ€™s wonderful 15in gauge model of Linda out in the sand duneâ€™s.
This is one of my many half-started routes; based loosely on the Fairborne railway. Thanks to Kevin, I might now just finish it off. Anybody interested?

hehehehehe... nifty.

Not sure I'd download such a route, however, there seems to be enough to do during the day.

I think this is a project well worthy of finishing, just to show what can be done with MSTS. It would certainly make a talking point at a UKTS show.

Something different, good idea.

15" gauge has been discussed a few times, so there must be some interest.

yeah, very good, cant wait untill the release date, the sooner the better ( but take as much time as you need) and a cute little engine as well

I've also been working on a 15inch guage route. It uses 1/2size GWR locos (Robin Howell's) rescaled and coaches from the SWLR truscale in a x2 scale Lakeside environment, possibly in N Wales and the same line has a 2FT guage museum and the trains run alongside each other to compare size.

Love to see that route Andrew

I think i'll start making some 15in models then i was going to before but there was no routes to run then on.

I think i'll start simple Heywoods Effie looks like a good project.

so long as everyone is making them to the same scale. wouldnt want engines with no track 2 run them on.

Rfairlie · Post by **Rfairlie** » Wed Dec 03, 2003 7:03 pm

What scale are people using is it 2xscale using ukng track or truescale using actual 15in gauge in MSTS.

i think unless a new track is created the standard definitions of guage to track width wont apply to these kinds of engines. cos for the same width track the engine needs 2 be built 2 a totaly different scale to make the wheels match. so what scale indeed?

davidaward · Post by **davidaward** » Wed Dec 03, 2003 8:22 pm

I use UKNG in x2 Scale, but normal track can be used in x4 scale.
