AMERICANish COACHES in 0-16.5 7mm scale but might pass for 0n30
Variation on the previously published Zillertalbahn coaches. A standard, open coach and a Brake version, a clerestory roof, for the American look, and modified floor/underframe. I decided the strapping on the roof was a mistake so I filed it flat. Also included are American style bogies (to take 00 wagon wheelsets in brass bearings) + bogie swing limiters that operate against a peg in the floor to ease rerailing - validity of this idea not yet certain. Also in doubt is my use of small tension lock couplings fixed to the coach ends. I have had problems backing the coaches over the station throat points. Just a little extra is the carriage side railroad line boards - to suggest the idea for your choice of railroad.
0n30 fans, please do not be upset - these are for my shay, that found its way to a narrow gauge heritage railway in the top lefthand corner of Wales. Their origin and authenticity are unknown.
