Roundhouse have been
manufacturers of live steam locomotives for 'G' Scale, SM45 &
SM32 since 1982 and are the major supplier of this type of model
in the UK.. Athough they are based in Doncaster, England, birthplace of
some of the worlds most famous main line steam locomotives, their
locomotives operate in garden railways around the world.
Garden
railway scales and gauges A little
extra information is added for what are generally termed the Garden
railway scales as there are several which are normally used together
and can cause confusion. Although any railway laid around a garden can
be called a garden railway, today the term is normally applied to Gauge
1, 'G' scale, SM32 and SM45.
'G'
scale, SM32 and SM45 are normally grouped together as size compatible,
despite the scales being slightly different. Though Roundhouse have two
different gauges, 32 and 45mm, all three represent narrow gauge models
and have similar overall sizes of locomotives and rolling stock.
Many
locomotives from ROUNDHOUSE have adjustable wheels to allow them to run
on either gauge or are available in two versions, one for either gauge.
Whilst we do not stock these products we are able to purchase them on
your behalf, at the current exchange rates at the time of purchase,
plus the relative freight costs.
