Hi folks.
Not sure if this is the first post production kit built of the latest 009 Soc. kit - launched at yeterday's NG South show - but it may well be the first built to 12 mm gauge ;D

Note: I had meant to build this last night but after the 3 hour drive home I was too shattered to do so. Also, should this in fact be the first kit for the 0012 Society? ;)
Anyhow, it goes together really well and I can forsee many of these appearing on 009 (and 0012!) layouts soon. Thanks to the Committee and the guys at Dundas for producing the kit.
Nice - so is this available with both 9mm and 12mm wheels ? and how much?
I apologize if all the info on this was in the March news, but mine doesn't seem to have arrived yet at either of my addresses
Looks great, I guess there will be train of at least three on the Isle of Stoner. Lots of cows because of the cheese making.
Moo

It is supplied with wheel sets to 9 mm gauge but they are on longer axles so it is easy to push the wheels out to 12 mm gauge. The chassis (and wheels) are from the from the Dundas T&D kits thus saving on the tooling costs.
Prices are £8 each or three for £20 and I expect there will be details in the next News.
So, who else has built one? There is plenty of scope for modification so why not show us what you have done with your kit(s).
12mm gauge ::) what's that then?
John.

3 mm wider than 9 mm gauge... ;D
The scale is 4 mm to one foot (1:76.2, the same scale as 009), therefore 12 mm gauge scales to 3 feet, as used by the Tralee & Dingle and most of the other NG lines in Ireland. Known as 0012 or 00n3
