Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hello, What is the best class 20 chassis to use under the Shapeways Sulzer with the lease amount of modifications for it to fit, Lima, Bachmann, Hornby or something else?

0 Warbonnet Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 While I can't answer you regarding the best fit, the Bachmann will be the best runner. The Lima and the Hornby are the same chassis, but the Hornby will have a smoother running motor and should be DCC ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 heirflick Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 having the shapeways sulzer body myself, i used the bachmann class 20 chassis. near perfect fit , just have sand down the corners of the chassis to match the curve of the body shell. the body will sit on the existing battery box/feel tanks perfectly. smashing runner aswell! hope this helps.

0 heirflick Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 heres a few pics... there is a lot of sanding to do to get the finish right, sometimes you sand too hard and you remove some of the detail...gently does it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 The Shapeways Sulzer still looks like a car crash compared to Hiddenagenda's Sulzer model. Just as well you got one of Gareth's models Seamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
