Tebee say to use the Kato 103 chassis But I have found that a 104 chassis fits better

& here it is with a railcar to show the ride height on the 104 chassis with a 103 it would be around 4mm higher

That is an attractive little vehicle.
For a second slightly different rail-truck I think Arumo in Japan offer this one in kit form with the Kato 11-107 chassis for 5000 yen + postage. (About
well I have got most of the painting done still need to pick out some detail & make a front buffer beam which will be fixed to the chassis
Heres how I chached the print to fit the 104 chassis
I removed the lower lip so the chassis would sit up agains the wagon floor at the back I also removed from the chassis one end in line with the hollow down to the coupling mount plus filed a slot so the coupling on the chassis can move in the rear buffer beam

the load is a old ten commandment casting that I shortened
The lack of support under the front end worries me.

as I said I still need to work on the chassis by making a front buffer beam which will include framework under the bonnet
