Thanks for the advert Steve!
Richard, if you want to know more send me a PM and I'll call you for a chat. There are other suppliers in Gauge 3 and several manufacturers are dipping a toe in the water, so I'd be very happy to chat about my experiences and give a (fairly) unbiased view.
This Troublesome Truck kept the original underframe which has steel solebars and a curious 9ft 3in wheelbase. Another way is to fit a complete new underframe. Scratch building solebars and headstocks is not hard, but the bits are available for wooden solebars and 9ft wheelbase if you prefer.
All the bits obviously add to the cost, but its still not an expensive model. For another comparison of costs, check out Slaters' website and compare their G3 wheels to G1. They don't list G3 at all on the website, but download the price list and its all in there.
