O16.5 Starter Pack

Description

These are 3 models I made for my own use last year for O16.5.

You can use any NEM couplings to couple the local and tender together but I like close magnetic ones as I don't really need to separate them. For the wagons and bug boxes, 2 pairs of Hornby Wheels - about 12.5 diameter, plus 2 NEM couplings, plus 4 Alan Gibson 4M63 bearings plus a couple of NEM couplings.

They're not for you to sell models from (if you print them as a favour, feel free to claim reasonable costs). When I was younger I wanted to try 'everything' but used to get frustrated because…
