I should start by saying that I model in both S7 and 7mm "Fine Scale" narrow gauge with at the moment is 0-14 and 0-16. Have a few projects on the go at the same time and for my sins I'm also finishing off a an large exhibition layout and a micro layout in 32mm 0 gauge which was started before I made the move to S7.
The current project on the bench is the first batch of Tal-y-llyn wagons for a 0-16 layout. They were originally produced as kits for the 7mm NG association but as they were designed to scale and aren't able to have their own 0-16.5 wheels, and had to have special wheels made for them, didn't go down well. So when life gives you lemons make lemonade.
