Wanted Roco outside frame 0-6-0 bodyshells

[Ray Fagg]

I am new to the forum. I have seen a few people have used the chassis from the German outside frame 0-6-0 tender tank.

I wonder if there are any spare body shells and or tenders that you might be willing to part with? I am mainly after the parts but also wanting to 'bash' some alternative German loco's if anyone is able to help that would be great.

Thanks for your help

Hello Ray,

Welcome to the 009 Forum!

I can't help directly with your request for Roco bodies, but hopefully a helpful suggestion to add to possible bashing fodder for your future building is to keep your eye out at toyfairs/swapmeets and on evilbay for German TT scale items - I picked up some Berlinerbahn tank loco bodies (2 types "modern" class 80 and an older Bavarian (I think) type) about the same size as a Triang TT Jinty for around

Thanks for the heads up I would not have thought of that  :)

I realise this thread was a little while ago, but have you found what you wanted in terms of body shells?

I have a Roco 0-6-0T loco that I picked up somewhere, that is missing its motor and gears, but has an unpowered but fre-running chassis.  I planned to re-motorise it and use it for a kit-bash, but have never got round round to it.

Contact me off-list if it is of interest (for a nominal amount).

Here are the H0e locos that I made some 25 years ago now using the Berliner Bahnen TT scale bodies. Back then you could purchase the bodies only as spare parts for about

Brian these are great. Are they still running? They have a real family style
Thanks for sharing

Yes they are all still in working order and in use. However they are all in our old green colour scheme. Since about 2000 I have been gradually changing all my locos to DR Black and updating them with added separate pipework and detail replacing moulded in pipes etc. However the way these are made makes removing the moulded pipes etc. not at all a good idea so they have not been done yet and probably never will. Because of this they do look a bit out of place compared to the more detailed locos I have now so they get very little use. But I do keep them is full working order with clean wheels etc.

Hi Ray,

Brian's locos above use exactly the same bodies that I was talking about in my posting of 27 June above. I only had one of the bodies that he used in locos 100, 101 and 103 but several of the older type ones that he used in 102. As far as I know they are all Berlinerbahn TT and are made of the same sort of fairly brittle plastic that the Triang TT Jinty body was made from. I picked mine up about 10 years or so ago from a rummage box at an exhibition. I'm confident you would still be able to find such items if you are patient and persevere!

Mick is correct they were indeed Berliner Bahnen TT bodies.
I have corrected the original post.

Originally produced by Zeuke and also found under the Tillig name as well as the 0-8-0Ts were still produced up until recently, so don't narrow your search down to BTTB/BerlinerBahn (same thing!)...

That explains why I thought that they were Tillig!

Many thanks I will certainly be looking more carefully at exhibitions from now on.
