Okay , thanks everyone for making me feel really welcome. Thats nice. Will just have to get used to the site and navigating where to reply but I think I have got it now. RE " Critter", I think I understand now. It's simple. I am 63 and get to work under my own steam, I have less than 4 wheels and weigh less than 3 tons...that makes me an old Critter yes? or is that a Codger?..perhaps we could get together and design a Codger!
Glad it makes no odds if I can run an 18" gauge Wren on 15" gauge track.
No rivet counters here...damned good policy!
I am going to make my own track and have read that code 55 is the right stuff for 00 gauge. Can anyone advise please?
I just want it to LOOK like miniature gauge track and that an OO chassis will run okay on it as well. I would like to use wooden sleepers. What are you using as spikes to hold the rail down?
Someone is going to say RAIL SPIKES!!!....what I mean is where do I get them from please?...Has anyone done this?
Many many thanks
Pete

It's not what you make it's how you make it.
