The new Sealed Bid Auction

[MickT]

As this one seems to have been identified as your doing Alan, can you also identify the coaches pleae? If they are converted Roundhouse I could be interested in making a bid for the whole "set" - would you remember roughly the loading gauge dimensions - ie width and height above track? I tend to try to keep to 40mm high and 28mm wide ie 10ft x 7ft in 009 but admit to being very guilty on width sometimes as some of my stuff is 8ft wide overall (32mm). I'm sure I could drum up a justification to have a cousin of Julien's Victoria splitting the tracks on the Mull & Iona!!

Yes the coaches etc are MDC/Roundhouse as well and narrowed down .
Sorry mick I have been parted from these for some time and it was long ago that I made them ,  they could be 28 mm wide and I certainly don't think they are wider than 30 but why dont you contact Lee and see if someone will measure them for you ?

To give you some idea of the size of these Roundhouse 2-8-0 tender locos here is a photo of my one that I converted to 9mm gauge next to a Minitrains Baldwin. I did not reduce the size or height of the body; I just narrowed the chassis block. (This is not my biggest loco, my 9mm gauge conversion of a three truck Roundhouse Shay takes that prize!)

Just a reminder to anyone who had thought of placing a bid that the auction closes in a week's time, on the 31st. So still time to bid!
