Size of False axle ends   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #23 of 74 |
Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a Master Chassis for 4mm. Having read the
review in MRJ it seems there is an option for 1mm or 1.5mm ends to the
False Axles (presumably for the Con-Rods). Can anyone tell me what is
the choice to go for please?. I'm guessing at 1mm, simply because (for
example) Alan Gibson crank pins are 1mm diameter. Is it simply a case
that the 1.5mm option is for 7mm Locos?
Many thanks.

Best Regards,
Brian.
