Does anyone have a photo of this loco with the body removed and know what the wheelbase is?

Thanks
JdF

Hi

I haven't taken mine apart, but I can confirm that the wheelbase is 18mm.

Best regards

Tony

I've just been given one for my birthday. What are you planning, John?

Hoping to use it for a spare chassis for Lyn.

Oh that's a nice idea - are the wheels the right diameter or are you thinking you would replace them?

One of the wonderful things about outside frames is that the wheel diameter is not important.

To some extent I agree with you (my Lawley has rather underscale wheels which no one notices). But I wonder how my Campbeltown 0-6-2 would look with pinroller wheels!

Don't worry Ted - some of us have been using inside-framed locos for years! I used to think my model of 'Russell' was quite good until a fateful day in 1993 when I displayed it alongside the models finished by Stephen Sullivan and Barry John Williams!
