It is almost perfect in all dimension apart from the 6' 3 1/1" driven wheels and a slightly longer cab.. QL - WD. 3'2"/6' 7".

A class 2251 is very close in the running gear dimensions, Wheels are 1" smaller and the distance between 2nd and 3rd wheels are 1 1/2" closer. Boiler and smoke box isn't even close. A bit of 3D printing would sort that out. SG - WD. 5' 1". Coupled Wheelbase 8'1" + 8'10". SG2 - WD. 5' 1". Coupled Wheelbase 8'1" + 8'10". SG3 - WD. 5' 1". Coupled Wheelbase 8'1" + 8'10". Closest chassis i can find at the moment is a J39 , Coupled wheelbase 8' + 9'. Length of loco is similar but smoke box, boiler and cab is a fair bit bigger. Crane Tank - WD. 3'4".

Mol_PMB Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago It’s probably worth adding the coupled wheelbase and overall length to the listings; these also need to be reasonably close for a model to look plausible. Also a note on cylinders and valve gear (inside/outside etc). As far as the models are concerned, older models are more likely to have a separate chassis which can be fitted into a replacement body. New models with a lot more gadgets often have much more integration between body and chassis, so are less easy to modify. 2
