Originally CW Rail produced a model of Townsend Hook (still available I believe) which was distorted in its dimensions to fit a minitrains chassis. A friend asked if they could print a 7mm version. This was tried and the compromises\/fudges that were acceptable in 009 were just too much in 7mm.\u00a0 To correct this a new model was drawn in 7mm scale which is our complete kit.\u00a0 We were then asked if we would complete the loop and scale ours down to 4mm and here it is.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The photo is of the 7mm loco.
