tim@dy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Hi MM What chassis are you going to use,scratch built or modified RTR?The reason I ask is that I have the same kit and I'm looking for chassis ideas. Cheers Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klink Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Mozzer what did you use to cut the chassis? I have the Chivers L&B Manning Wardle and my stumbling block is how to trim the metal Bachmann chassis (with smoke generator). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzer models Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Mozzer what did you use to cut the chassis? I have the Chivers L&B Manning Wardle and my stumbling block is how to trim the metal Bachmann chassis (with smoke generator). I used a razor saw but a junior hack saw would do it as will just take your time blowing the sworfe away all the time so that it do's not get into the gears Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Taylor Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Wrightlines used to do a milled outside framed chassis kit for this, but according to the guys on NGRM-online.com it's no longer available. Tis a shame now the kit is available again!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
