etired on30
I am retired and have dedeided to try take up 0n30 after looking at all the other gauges.I have no kit building skills so I bought a Spectrum Gas Mechanical Loco off of the shelf.I only have experience of 00 in past so looking forward to this scale as I think the others I have looked at are to small (Not LGB which is to big ).........I wondered if someone can suggest correct Driver size (off shelf if possible) to fit loco.If not then a figure I can build.......Thankyou in advance.

Welcome to the Forum John.
Do remember John that American O gauge is a different scale to British: American scale is 1/4 inch to the foot, about 6mm to the foot. I have a small collection of 0n30 Bachmann Stock and ideas for a small layout eventually. I am away from home at present but when I get back after the weekend I will post some links you might find useful. Best wishes, John H-T
