IrishModelRail Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Hi all, I am thinking of purchasing some Irish Freight Models bagged cement wagon kits but a chassis is not included in the kit. Can anyone recommend a place for me to buy a suitable chassis? Seán. Quote

Blaine Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Thanks but these are actual wagons. I only need a chassis. Its the only way of getting the chassis... Quote
DartStation Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Sean Go to the dapol web site , they sell chassis separately , there have three different lengths you just need to know which length you need, I have used the mid length one for cement bubbles previously. Hope it helps Paul R Quote
Glenderg Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Paul, the dapol site sells only 9, 10, and 11' chassis on their own. The prestwin chassis has a 12' wheelbase, which is spot on for anything irish. Are they the same-ish price? Quote

That's grand, Thanks. Quote
StevieB Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Dapol actually more ready to run wagon underframes, namely 2x9', 10', 11' and 2x12'. In the case of the latter, one of these is for the grampus but they don't actually advertise the fact. However, as a grampus body will not fit on a normal 12' underframe, which I found to my cost, they will sell you the right one, you just have to be persistent. Stephen Quote
