O gauge outdoors in the Australian sun

Hi Stan, I have left it as it is. It will grind its way through Peco points but it is mainly intended for use on my outer track where there are no points and to be run on coursescale layouts when visiting.

fair enough, I had contemplated converting it to finescale, but it would probably have ended up with completely new bogies . I was surprised at how many people were still doing coarse scale O , so I'm sure there will be opportunities to run elsewhere. I'm assuming you left the lights no functional -( IIRC the markers were carved from knitting needles!)

Hi Stan the wiring for the lights has been taped up in the roof. can be made to work again, but as i only run outdoor in the sun not worth doing for me at the moment.
I visit Qld regularly so it enables me to run at AMRA and some other garden layouts that are SM32. I have plenty of finescale to run where needed. Maybe one day I will alter the wheel settings to be more happy running through finescale points.

One of 4 layouts here in town I am helping. This one using my proven steel C channel and Villaboard (Hardiebacker for some of you) construction method.
HO with room to run On30.
cheers
