All we need is a viable outside frame chassis, and this will be a popular model.

I did wonder, thanks for confirming.

I look forward to seeing its progress.

It is very neatly finished. Any progress, Brian? I expect a suitable chassis with that funny wheel spacing will hold you up.

Hi Ted
I have  some 08's on order if there to short i may change the wheel arangment to say a 2-6-0

[tedp]

It would make a lovely 2-6-0. The Welshpool locos are difficult to build with a proper 0-6-0 chassis since there isn't one, nor is there one you can easily adapt. You'd be better off with a reliable engine having the wrong chassis than with one with a scale chassis that gives endless trouble.

[rod335]

The W & L locos are BIG, much bigger than almost any other 009 loco and this body would, I think, look ridiculous on an 08 chassis. Best of luck anyway whatever you do.

As an 0-6-0 it would, but I think a 2-6-0 as Brian proposes may look better. Let's see what he comes up with.

[rod335]

I think 0-6-2 would look better and be more likely. Bear in mind the T &D tanks (the only 2-6-0Ts that spring to mind) were designed to run cab first. I am sure there are other 2-6-0Ts but can't think of any at present.

Hi Mozzer,

Have you considered a Roco HF110 chassis? It's probably a bit of an odd idea to use an HOe chassis to many people but it might just work (or be too short).

Cheers,
