Beautiful little models. Very well finished. Run smooth. The tender provides additional pickup. No idea how to get a DCC decoder in the model - yet.

Bachmann

The Bachmann Narrow Gauge Page is: Bachmann Narrow Gauge

Bachmann Branchline Narrow gauge models.

This good looking locomotive runs very well. It would like 11" radius curves but runs on the Peco 9" Setrack curves with no problems. Several companies offer replacement boiler fronts to replace the face.

Rheneas with Glynn Valley Tramway Coaches.

Bachman has released three Slate Wagons: #101, #164 and an unnumbered wagon. They are cast metal with plastic details and have metal wheels so they have a nice weight. With a bit of work on the road numbers you could easily make six more cars (#s 1, 4, 6, 10, 16, 64) or you could decal the unnumbered car.

Here they are behind a MinitrainS Bagnall on a section of the Dixmont & Winslow Ry.

Peco

We have the Peco Glyn Valley Tramway cars in stock. See the Peco Web page for more information.

MinitrainS Gmeinder Diesel with Glyn Valley Tramway 4 Wheel Enclosed Side Coach, Glyn Valley Tramway 4 Wheel Open Side Coach and Freelance 4 Wheel Brake Coach without Buffers. The Gmeinder looks good pulling the cars but really needs to be a darker green. Have to see about painting one in a nice dark green. A Steam engine would be nicer. Peco does make a body kit for the right type of locomotive.

Bachmann Skarloey with Tallylyn Railway (GVT) 4 Wheel Coach with Buffers and Freelance 4 Wheel Brake Coach with Buffers.

Bachmann Skarloey with Glynn Valley Tramway Passenger Cars on the Dixmont and Winslow mainline.

Peco has also released a series of Bogie Coaches, and four wheeled freight cars for the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, in both the L&BR and Southern railway paint schemes. These are available to order.

Structures

As HOn30 is HO Scale Narrow Gauge, any HO Scale building will work, however as these are small models, smaller buildings would be better. The small structures in the Woodland Scenics 'Scenic Details' Line would fit right in.

Special Orders

If there is a particular item you are seeking that we don't have in stock, please don't hesitate to ask for it. We will special order most anything. Items in stock at most major distributors can be obtained in a week or two. Out of stock items can be back ordered for delivery when they are produced.
Please note that if the company is outside of the major distribution channels, special orders will take some time. Many companies require minimum orders from stores (a person can often order one item at a time) so it may take a while for us to get a large enough order to send to them. In these cases we will advise you if it is faster to order direct.
