'Victory' Project Videos

[Chris Bird]

Hi folks
Some of you may know that the 16mm Association has a project to offer parts for members to build a 16mm scale Decauville named 'Victory'.
Well Keith Dyer, the designer, has now made a great video of the three completed locos and I was able to make two videos of his loco last week.

You can find one of mine here:

or all three (with details) here:

The weather was pretty poor when we filmed, but I did manage a couple of snaps.
Cheers
Chris

Good stuff Chris. I just recently signed up to the 16mm Association. Im thinking about with my next layout making it 45mm and 35mm all handlay or make a separate but smaller layout using 35mm. I really like what everyone is doing in 16mm. Would love to switch over but then I would have to regauge my Forney etc.... Is your layout 35mm? or 45mm using the 7/8th?

Thanks Shawn My layout is 32mm - which is 2ft gauge in 16mm and 18" gauge in 7/8ths. So 32mm is the right one for Maine 2 footers in 16mm and 45mm is right for it in 7/8ths (though the locos are HUGE).
Cheers
