Accucraft collection just come in

[andyspencer]

We have just taken on a large collection of Accucraft rolling stock as part of a commission sale. Most of it is mint/unopened boxed, with a few pieces lightly run in excellent/mint condition. There's also a Baguley Drewery and an IOM 'Caledonia'. Lots of L&B wagons, one coach, W&L wagons+coaches, IOM 4&8 wheel coaches. All being added to our webshop over the next few days or so.

I noted under 'rolling stock', at the bottom, there is a row of page numbers in maroon on red, which are almost invisible. Did you try all of them?

No, most of the Accucraft were under 16mm not G Gauge, and there seems to be only one page.

That's because Accucraft narrow-gauge models ARE 16mm scale, and not 'G Gauge' which is the catch-all title of a whole scad of scales and non-scales that run on 45mm gauge track.

Yes, that is why i looked at the 16 mm page (singular). However the IOM are 15mm if I am not mistaken.

Correct.

Correct.

Which makes it tricky to know how to label it if people have used the 32mm wheelsets not in terms of accuracy, but in terms of the prospective market

Agreed a 16 mm scale item, that is supposed to be 15 mm scale running on G Scale track.

Uh, the Isle of Man rolling stock is built to 15mm scale. It runs on 45mm gauge track, which, in 15mm scale, represents three foot gauge - so it is correct for the Isle of Man railway. There is no such animal as 'G scale', as we've mentioned here many times before - it is a mish-mash of all the scales, except Gauge 1 - that run on 45mm gauge track.

In LGB terms, 45mm represents 1 metre - THE foremost narrow-gauge scale in Western Europe. The linear scale of LGB's so-called scale models is 1:22.5 - in Europe it is called IIm [Roman 2]

The first wave of 15/16mm IOM coaches are now live on our webshop. As noted in some of the above comments, difficult to market these with the oddball 15mm scale...

Andy many thanks, easily found , but I am after the smaller 2 axle (4 wheel) coaches, I will check back later to see if they are in.

What's the difference between the W&L brake van for £100 and the identical model for £120?

the one for £120 has both 32mmand 45mm wheel sets the other only has the 45mm wheel set

 

[tac foley]

Ah. When new both wheelsets were 'in the box'. I guess the then-new owner did what I did, and sold them off. I had around sixty 32mm sets..........................

Yes there are some 4-wheelers! Are there any particular ones you are after?

 

[andyspencer]

IOM 4-wheelers are now live on our webshop, along with some W&L Pickering coaches. (We've also had two more PIckering saloon's come into stock which will be listed in due course) Wagons are selling very fast. There's a few more unboxed L&B 4-wheelers to list as well.
