JEP S gauge and 0 gauge

sncf231esncf231eOGR Forum Member

JEP from France is one of the view manufacturers from Europe that made S gauge trains inspired by a visit from one of their employees to the US in the beginning of the fifties where he saw American Flyer trains. I noticed I have a JEP S locomotive that looks similar (and has exactly the same mechanism) as a JEP 0 gauge locomotive. So today I ran them side by side in the garden:

The JEP motor can be run on AC or DC; so one of the locomotives runs on AC power and the other on DC. I could not see any difference.

Regards

Fred

Fred, thanks for these fabulous posts. Thinking about track specifically can you tell me what track you used, for this? As I don't believe RM and J-EF coaches/trains are 'tinplate' in the current sense of the term (and I know that's a subject of much debate, but I'm ready for it ... ), I'd like some advice on track that is more ... realistic (I want use the dreaded 'p' word ...). Thanks, and best, Nigel

In case you didn't  notice, you replied to a post from June 2019.  Fred hasn't been active on the forum for about a year and a half.   I think that his website is still active.
