I wondered if someone could give me the dimensions of the chassis. Especially I need to know the wheelbase and wheel spacing also the wheel diameter.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Which version of Farish 08?
The "mark 1" is the old inside frame version (common to the J94 saddle tank). There may be drawings in the earlier editions of the 009 Handbook.
The "mark 2" is the fist generation of outside frame chassis. There are drawings of this chassis on the RT Models pages here (https://rtmodels.co.uk/rt_models_015.htm) (scroll down to the bottom).
The 'Mark 3" is similar to the Mark 2 but has the facility to plug in a DCC chip and (iirc) a pre-fitted speaker for DCC sound. I'm not aware of any drawings but I'd assume it's not much different to the Mark 2.
Thanks I new I had seen some drawings somewhere but couldn't find them.
I think there was a line drawing in the old edition of the 009 Society handbook, but this was for the old inside frame and J94 version of the chassis, not the new outside frame version.
I have at least one of each of the 'mark 1' inside frame and 'mark 2' outside frame versions in by unused chassis box.
Just let us know what version you need and when I get a chance I will measure them for you.
(I do not have a 'mark 3' version that is the one produced now.)
All the chassis drawings from that and a few newer ones should be on the society web site.
Well, they were the alsttime I looked, but seem to have disappeared now!
I shall chase this up!

They are still there (or are there again)!

Not there for me either.
Sorry - this has had to go to Andrew our Webmaster as it is not something I can resolve. Rest assured the page is still there, but there is something about the access rights that needs re-setting which is beyond my pay grade!

Likewise. I can see the 'Parts List' and 'History of Egger Bahn' in the same section (Resource page for members) but I get and 'oops nothing found error'.
I have the original Graham Farish 08 chassis from the 90s which I was using for my scratch built kitson (Barsi Light Railway) loco. It never ran well from day one. Found out it had a split gear. I got a replacement set wheels which also had the same problem. I have my loco body but no chassis.
Any way here are the dimensions.
Wheel diameter: 8.97mm.
Axel spacings: 1st to 2nd axel 11.20mm. 2nd to 3td axel 11.20mm and 3td to 4th axel 12.00mm.
Hope this helps.
Robin.

I think this has now been fixed.
