Class

J - Wheel Dia. 5' 7". Coupled wheelbase 7'1" ( O/A wheelbase 5'3" + 6' 4 1/2" + 7' 1")

P - WD. 5' 7". Coupled wheelbase 8'. ( O/A wheelbase 5'3" + 6'10 1/2" + 8')

P - WD. 6'7". Coupled wheelbase 8'. ( O/A wheelbase 5'3" + 6'10 1/2" + 8')

PP - WD. 6' 7" . Coupled wheelbase 8'3".  ( O/A wheelbase 5'3" + 6'10 1/2" + 8'3")

Q - WD. 3'2"/ 6' 7" coupled wheelbase, 8' 8" ( O/A wheelbase 5'9" + 7'6 1/2" + 8'8") Hate to say it (or my wallet hates to think of it) the closest donor loco for a Q Class is a Highland Railway "Loch" Class. 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". Coupled wheelbase 9'3"  ( O/A wheelbase 5'9" + 7'6 1/2" + 9'3")

S - WD. 3'2" / 6' 7".  Coupled wheelbase 7'6 1/2" + 9'6".  ( O/A wheelbase 6' + 7'6 1/2" + 9'6")

S2 - WD. 6' 7". Coupled wheelbase 7'6 1/2" + 9'6".  ( O/A wheelbase 6' + 7'6 1/2" + 9'6")

U - WD. 3'2" / 5' 9". Coupled wheelbase 8'3". ( O/A wheelbase 5'3" + 6'10 1/2" + 8'3")

V - WD. 3'2" / 6' 7". Coupled wheelbase 10'8" (O/A wheelbase 6'6" + 7'7" + 10'8". Tender WD. 3'8". wheelbase 6'6" + 6'6"

VS - WD.  3'2" / 6' 7". Coupled wheelbase 10'8" (O/A wheelbase 6'6" + 7'7" + 10'8".  Tender WD. 3'8". Wheelbase 6'6" + 6'6"

LQG - WD. 4' 7 1/4". Coupled wheelbase 7'10"  + 8'10"

NQG - WD. 4' 7". Coupled wheelbase 7'10" + 8'10"

NLQG - WD. 4'7". Coupled wheelbase 7'10" + 8'10"

UG - WD. 5' 1". Coupled wheelbase 7'3" + 8' 4 1/2"

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". Coupled wheelbase  5' + 5'

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.
