Meridian MM7 loco wanted

[Oscar Rogers]

Hi everyone, I

[rod335]

Don't think this is really posted in the right thread. Anyway, this kit (which is not really for beginners) fits the obsolete Bachmann Dock Switcher 0-4-0 chassis, which in itself is not all that good. But you would be much better off finding and buying a GOOD chassis first before trying to find the body kit.

Cheers for the advice mate, I

You may find it quite difficult to get the body to sit low enough on the N-Drive chassis.
Several examples I have seen that have used this chassis have ended up with the body obviously too high.
This is because the motor in the N-drive chassis is higher then the old Bachmann motor.

I have remotored Bachmann 0-4-0 chassis using Mashima 1015s and the motor is no higher than the Bachmann one, even mounting it 'on edge'. The N drive chassis will go in the Meridian Corris 4 kit without making the body sit too high but will involve quite a lot of surgery to both body and chassis. One of the remotored chassis is in my original Corris 4 which I built when the kit was first issued, 1991? One of the first batch which was actually carried on the TR. I still have the postmarked box. I am presently doing another one with a remotored chassis fitted with 8mm wheels from the Bachmann 0-6-0.
