Title: unknown NG Chassis

Here is a photo of chassis parts I purchased from the Sales Stand at the recent 009 Society AGM at Spartshott. does anyone recognise the manufacturer please?

If it is the same one as I was contemplating at Sparsholt then I think that it is from a Backwoods Miniatures kit for an HOn3 Porter 0-4-0ST.

Definitely Backwoods but wouldn't like to say which.

Many thanks for taking the time to help me. I suspected it was from Backwoods Miniatures but the Porter is no longer listed in their current range. The separate gear wheel in the photo (the original was damaged) was obtained from Chris Gibbon of High Level Models at Scalefour North which again supports the Backwoods origin.

The gears in the later Backwoods kits are made by Weinart. Earlier kits used Farish gears.
