Hi
What chassis is best to use for the Langley prince kit?

It was designed for the Ibertren 0-4-0.
However these are hard to find now in good order.
You can use the Fleischmann 0-4-0, but this will require some modifications to the kit and because it is somewhat bigger than the ibertren you will find it very difficult to get the body to sit low enough to the rails. It is however not too difficult if you want the loco to sit obviously too high.

As with all of the older 1980's 009 kits I would strongly recommend that you get the chassis first before you get the kit. The kits are easy to get, the chassis are not!
