Model Forum / General / Railroads / September 2006Carama question
Have pourchased some Carama models (they are selling landrovers and Transit vans at Poundland for a pound a go) - Problem is I cannot see how to detach the car from mthe plastic base - First go (pulling) damaged the base of the vehicle - Is there a trick to this. twist and pull or something? If there is I cannot find it.

Thank god for the Spul Chicker.... And to all the others about to flame me, I know it wouldn't know Cararama ! You will need a very fine one, and they are often very tight. I have seen some on a black circular base that comes off with a quarter turn, but think the screw has become the norm to stop the cars rattling around inside the boxes...

Bob Hi What gauge are these? Bob Don't you mean what scale ? The only two cars I have seen that are to "Gauge" are the ones in James Bond - Octopusy and the Delorean in Back to the Future 3 ?

If there is I cannot find it. Small screw underneath base. > Hi What gauge are these? Scale 1:72 (4mm scale is 1:76). I can thoroughly recommend these at the price. Carlisle had landys and mini travellers last time I looked about two weeks ago.
