Title: Gramophone?
Post by: Plynkes on February 05, 2008, 08:13:03 PM

Has anybody come across an old-fashioned gramophone in 28mm on their travels? In some kind of accessory set perhaps?

You know, the sort with a big trumpet-like thing for a speaker, that the HMV dog is always sticking his nose into?

I suppose such a thing could be cobbled together from the bits box, but it would be less hassle if somebody already does one.

I have one in 1/4", aka 1/48, scale that came out of a doll house furniture line. I have no idea of the manufacturer though.

Not sure whether they actually do a gramaphone, but they do tons of interior detailing for O guage.

lots of useful things there, any experiences with that scale? 1:43 is a bit on the big side.
