I just received this rolling road system from http://www.rollingrails.co.uk which they produced especially for me in to enable me to test, DCC programme and run in locos in both 12mm and 9mm gauges.eg. HOm and 009/H0e. Not having a continuous test track or layout it is going to be very useful as I build new model locos and convert Bemo 12mm HOm to 9mm gauge.


8 sets of rollers are provided, allowing up to 3 locos to be running at once under separate DCC control



It can take locos up to 285mm wheelbase. It easily fits a Bemo loco



The rollers in this case have been set to 9mm and also 12mm gauge as a special item



This show the details of a single roller pair. I had them made to take locos of 10mm between wheel centres.



The manufacturer is Rolling Rails (http://www.rollingrails.co.uk) at Stoke on Trent and the price for this special unit was
