Many of the components used to build to 4mm fine scale standards can be obtained through local model shops and specialist suppliers. Workers in EM can use wheels such as those from Alan Gibson, Kean Maygib, Ultrascale, Sharman and Romford.

The conversion of many locomotives, both ready to run and kit constructed, is easily achieved by using longer axles and spacing washers between the wheels and the frames. Proprietary rolling stock can be changed for little more than the cost of new wheels.

The wheels and axles provided by the Society are a direct substitution for the proprietary wagon and coach ranges. In addition, the E.M. Gauge Society caters for those of its members who work to P4 standards where the track gauge is 18.83mm and a specific wheel profile must be used with tighter crossing flangeway and check-rail clearances. Obviously your track will have to be re-laid and the Society specialises in the provision of track building components. A set of full size track and turnout plans (either to EM or 18.83mm gauge) is given free to all members to form the basis of constructing trackwork and building jigs. Similarly a full set of Wiring Diagrams is given free at time of joining.

There are several plastic based plain track proprietary systems, which are also compatible with the hand built turnouts. Some systems can also provide the basic requirements for turnout construction. There are also various makes of copper clad trackwork etc.
