Anyone need an 0-4-2 chassis for a BCDR tank, perhaps?

It would make a nice ornament for the wife's Christmas stocking - better (and cheaper) than many ornaments? Much nicer on the mantlepiece than endless family photos!

A remarkable price. I wonder if the chassis could be repurposed under anything else such as a 2-4-0?

That’s my first thought…..pic courtesy Mike Morant. Would obs need to check dimensions

Maybe even a 2-4-2T?

You could, although a kit for that particular one already exists in 7mm from alphagraphix

Thanks for the tip, Leslie, they’re going like hot cakes.

Indeed. They’ve all gone. Thank goodness - saves me resisting temptation
