All we need is a viable outside frame chassis, and this will be a popular model.

It is very neatly finished. Any progress, Brian? I expect a suitable chassis with that funny wheel spacing will hold you up.

Hi Ted
I have some 08's on order if there to short i may change the wheel arangment to say a 2-6-0
It would make a lovely 2-6-0. The Welshpool locos are difficult to build with a proper 0-6-0 chassis since there isn't one, nor is there one you can easily adapt. You'd be better off with a reliable engine having the wrong chassis than with one with a scale chassis that gives endless trouble.
The W & L locos are BIG, much bigger than almost any other 009 loco and this body would, I think, look ridiculous on an 08 chassis. Best of luck anyway whatever you do.
Rod
As an 0-6-0 it would, but I think a 2-6-0 as Brian proposes may look better. Let's see what he comes up with.
I think 0-6-2 would look better and be more likely. Bear in mind the T &D tanks (the only 2-6-0Ts that spring to mind) were designed to run cab first. I am sure there are other 2-6-0Ts but can't think of any at present.

Hi Mozzer,
Have you considered a Roco HF110 chassis? It's probably a bit of an odd idea to use an HOe chassis to many people but it might just work (or be too short).
Cheers,
Friso

And what about the brand new Roco 0-6-0 chassis? Iwill be getting one as soon as finances allow. Andy @ KGR was trying to tempt me on Saturday, by waving one under my nose... I held my nerve and kept my hands tight behind my back so as to not reach for the credit card as I have something else on my list right now!
Looks very nice, not sure about the chimney, were they not outshopped with stovepipes - i.e. no real cap?
I agree that a decent outside farmed, six coupled chassis would be needed, but plenty of scope for a semi freelance loco!
Tony
They had a stovepipe, but it had a lip at the top rather than a cap - this is what I have tried to reproduce.
BTW what brand new Roco 0-6-0 chassis - have I missed something ?
