Binnie Engineering Catalogue

Hi folks
I am a bit of a fan of the Binnie Engineering wheels and wagons, though I know that the 32mm gauge of the latter will rule them out for most here.
I have used the incredibly tough, glass filled nylon wheels and axle boxes for years and think they are excellent value. The problem was that I could never find an up to date catalogue on the net.
Well now Peter Binnie has taken up my offer of a free page on my website so that I can find it easily - and in case you are interested, it is here:
http://www.summerlands-chuffer.co.uk/#/binnie-engineering/4560169269 < Link To http://www.summerlands-ch...engineering/4560169269
I have no connection - other than as a satisfied customer.
Cheers
Chris
 
I've got a few of the tipper wagons 45mm gauge which i'm very pleased with. I was a bit worried about the nylon wheels but they've proved to be very tough and silent running.
 
I see that the catalog shows 32 mm gauge. Rosco mentioned that he bought some at 45 mm gauge. Are they still available at the larger gauge ?
 
Dan,
If you open the link and look at the black/white Binnie Eng. pics you will see a tipper named The Hudson - should be any easy name for you to remember. :bigsmile:
Anyway the Hudson, it says, is made for either 32mm. OR 45mm.
Hope that helps.
 
Yes thats right, it's only the Huddson tipper they make in 45mm gauge. Here is a picture which shows what sort of scale they are, LGB loco's make them look tiny. They are built for the narrow gauge railway but you can get away with it depending whats pulling them.

Unfortunately it appears that they, like a few others in the UK, will not export to the US for "insurance" reasons. Not sure what is prompting this but it may be a problem for us modellers in the USA in the near future.
 
You Stateside guys may like to look at this web site.
Depending on your modeling skills and workshop facilities this would make low priced models.
The link was found in the current issue of Garden Railways (Kalmbach).

There are other railroad items to be seen on the web site. Some more simply made than this hopper. :D
 
That is pretty sharp Alan, thanks for the link!
 
The shovels and other tools appealed to my limited skills.
A nice small project maybe during the summer whilst watching the trains go by. :D

Addendum:
Whilst running trains this afternoon it crossed my mind that anyone not wishing to loose fingers or whatever ;) whilst cutting tinplate might wish to try this simpler option. By replacing the tinplate with the thick aluminium foil used as food containers etc, all that is needed to make and shape the shovel or implement would be a decent pair of scissors or craft knife.
 
Ordered some wheels on Sunday night by email, paid the invoice Monday evening and received them Wednesday am.

Very good service and great prices.

Was gonna get some Cambrian wheels but they take so long to send that Peter gets my custom. Shame he doesn't do a leaf sprung axle box.
