Hi
Does anyone know about the dimensions of GF 0-6-0 loco chassis, please?
I know that the 57xx 0-6-0 will fit the Peco loco I want but are any of the other GF 0-6-0 chassis the same dimensions?
Thanks for any help.
I think you will find that only the 57xx chassis will be a direct fit in the Peco James and Jenette kits.
The other Graham Farrish chassis are either too long or too short.
However, if you want to modify a chassis and the body I would recommend using the Fleischmann 7000 chassis, not another GF chassis, but again these are only available second hand.
As with all 009 kits you always need to get the chassis before the kit and not the other way around, as the kits are easy to get, the chassis, that are almost all out of production now are often difficult to get.

Your first is correct I think and the second is good advice. As I am not bothered about connecting rods and other gubbins I am going for tram kits and the Kato power units which seems to be well liked.
