Two pages from the Gregg catalogue of American portable narrow-gauge track. Scanned for us by Mick Nicholson.

Lots of detail for modellers of industrial track. Track gauges from 20" to standard-gauge.

Very Interesting Martin. I still have a copy of Tommy Ward's Industrial catalogue - quite fascinating stuff.

I remember sometime last year you put up some On30 trackwork. I did have a quick look round but could not find it.

Could you pinpoint this please? On30 fascinates me. It is so far from the disciplines of 1936 GWR in 7mm that I am sure I will have a go one day. I may start planning a layout.

Regards

Brian Lewis

Hi Brian,

I also have a copy, but it's out on loan at present. However, John Brighton has scanned his copy and put it online at:

TWW front cover

TWW contents

(The contents link is an image map -- the listed pages can be clicked to go to the relevant page, although that's not immediately obvious.)

It's in the "Samples and examples" section (maybe you were searching using letter O instead of 0 zero?):

0n30 example file

There is more discussion about 0n30 (0n16.5) in this topic:

narrow gauge templates in 7mm

and a video about customizing narrow-gauge templates in this topic:

p.s. Brian,

There is a very impressive 0n30 layout on this page at RMweb (lots of pictures):
