Just a brief Youtube video of Peco products which also shows a few other makes of ready to run models as examples to run on Peco track.

Re: 7mm Scale Narrow Gauge Peco Range.
I have no means to check this as I can't find any information other than a mention on another site, but rumour has it that Peco is coming out with lazer cut wooden rolling stock kits in 0-16.5? It may just me me not understanding what was said... If it is true it will be interesting!
It seems like this scale and gauge is "Opening up" as more and more people see potential in it.

Re: 7mm Scale Narrow Gauge Peco Range.
Seems the rumours are true! Several different waggon and van designs along with an interesting toastrack style open carriage if it is what I saw and not some other model lurking in the background? All made from lazer cut wood.
What puzzles me is they are making skip waggons? Surely wood is the wrong material to use for these? They look good though, and waggons are said to include curly spoked wheels! Very fancy!
But to update on what is available which is opening up this scale and gauge, we now have two manufacturers involved in ready to run factory made models. Lionheart which make lovely 2-6-2T locos and really lovely bogie coaches for those modellers with the space to run them (As these are big and need larger curves! Don't expect these things to turn on a 2ft (60cm) wide baseboard!), and we have the Bachmann NG7 range which are thr more sensible approach for the space starved modeller! With the correct coupling choice, these things (The range so far) will turn on a two pence! (Well... Not quite, but they will turn on a 2ft wide board!)
With Peco which the current plastic range are lovely simple kits, and we also have the likes of Smallbrook and 422 Modelmaking, all being relitively simple and easy to build, and one can easily build a lovely railway without the need to tear ones hair out if one is not that great at scratchbuilding!
(Scratchbuilding can be as easy or as difficult as one wants it to be so "Keep your hair" if you want to give it a try!)
But yes! British outline 7mm narrow gauge on 00 track width had never been so well covered, and this is just the infancy of what has been planned to come!
Watch this space as the say on TV land!
