I understand that that a good percentage of folk reading this posting are menders of the G scale Society. Apart from the statistics, this would in any case be a logical conclusion to draw on.
Many members therefore will have seen the full page announcement in the latest G scale Journal introducing the new Kingscale gas fired Gauge one A4.
I am reliably informed that the well respected engineer and designer Mike Pavie has had a big input on this project.
The reason that I draw your attention to this is that some years ago the above made a similar model for me but in Gauge 3.
For those that may be interested I include a picture of same in steam on my railway in Leicestershire.
Obviously I have been more than happy with it's performance since otherwise I would not be showing it here!
As a member of the G scale Society myself I welcome a change to the seemingly endless procession of European and USA designs running on our tracks!!

How interesting, i thought Mike Pavie had a lot of input to Kingscale's Gauge 3 Britannia but the Gauge 1 A4 was a product of the Bowande factory in China? cheers Rob
 
gauge 3 is lovely, saw a prairie at b2b6 and loved its size

cant have everything though so its 45mm track for me

unless lottery win then i will just buy a full size one!!

Both are built in the Bowande factory. The G3 locomotive was designed here, the G1 loco was designed at the factory.
