Using N gauge wagons for 009?

[B.Meldon]

I think I provided a link to the 009 News article all about the Jouef H0e range in the loco restoration thread. As I mentioned getting all the versions of the loco, the V skip, the toastrack, the log wagon and even the track is quite easy.

You did indeed Brian, and I ended up reading all the stuff about Eggerbahn too.  When I say collection I only really want a working loco, and at least one of each type of rolling stock as I remember them, so green and red tipper only. I plan to keep them in factory condition where possible, but still run them just for fun every now and again.

The Egger articles are quite old now and I have since found more info. and have more variations that could have added to the photos, so there are a couple of small errors, but they are mostly correct. The bit about the two Jouef points was also added after the article was published in 009 news.  I never did finish the Egger rolling stock articles, they are sort of written, but incomplete, I am also short a couple of the wagon variations to take photos of for the articles as well. (Yes after 40 years of collecting there are still some Egger items I have not got!)

There is something quite charming about them, what else was there to add?
I just bought a Number 4 diesel that doesn't work for £10 and a Western that has had the cow catcher removed and been painted shiny back for £25. That seems to have been well looked after and run nicely, but sadly the raised "Union Pacific"on the tender has been sanded down. Still it is a nice addition until I decide what I am going to do with it long term

The no4 diesel 009 news article just hapens to be in the sample 009 News that is available on the web site, it starts on page 15, here is a link: https://www.009society.com/october2013.pdf

If you read the Western loco artical it will tell you what version you have. It is about half way down this web page: http://www.egger-bahn.nl/egger%20009%20soc%2050%20jaar.html

Thanks.

So I can tell that the Number 4 is one of the later wide Jouef ones. It is missing the "wood" front section and unless I start it very slowly topples over backwards. I might just make a replacement and hide some lead in a tool box, or maybe put an oil barrel there to hide a DCC decoder. I am looking for a decent sized driver too, who can hang out the side to make the size obvious.

The Western was completely painted gloss black quite nicely, but it has started to crack and go misty in places. At some point I would like to strip and repaint it at some point, but in the meantime I will just use it as a #5 steam loco. The tender would be a good place to put a DCC chip and even a sound decoder, but that is another project for another day.

Thanks again, I have plenty to keep me going over the winter now, so time to stop buying rolling stock for a bit and concentrate on getting my layout started :-)

From new there would have been a piece of metal in the front of the wood section under the seat on the No4 going into the slot in the lower part of the body.

Thanks, yes I had to put quite a wodge of blutac to keep it on the track. Standalone the motor works really well but back in there is sill some hesitation every now and again despite cleaning the wheels and contacts. It isn't always the same place, just random occurrences, I will try again next week, my kids have Sister in law has just arrived and my wife offered her "my" room to sleep in :-(
