The 1:220 scale experiments are complete for now, with the G42 Garratt properly articulated and running, as well as versions of the NBH and NBHC carriages. They all run, so this scale and prototype is definitely an option for a future layout.
It has been a while since I have built any new trains, so here is the first of a few planned experiments: scaling up the Victorian Railways narrow gauge stock by 60% from 1:350 to 1:220 (Zn30). A few extra details on the 3D prints, a quick paint job, and they look reasonable. They do run, but this is about the maximum practicable size for the linear motor drive.
