<p>Hi there eveyone from southern Queensland, Australia. I have recently moved up here from interstate and have enough space for a small indoor garden railroad. I am a Watchmaker By proffession,32 years old, and have always been enthralled by clockwork locomotives, especially after finding a few pretty little industrial engines on the web recently. I wonder though if anyone has any experience in building a small "G" guage four wheel clockwork locomotive, and can help with maybe a gear train tooth count, the size of the spring, and running times etc. for a railway i was thinking along the lines of postman pat crossed with something the pixies would build at the bottom of the garden. first i need a mechanism, though, so has any one any ideas?</p><p> *EMMA*</p>
