The only thing that put me off doing this 'conversion' myself is that the 8F chassis doesn't really have the right cylinders on it for a Z. I did do the W class using an N chassis but the cylinders and wheel spacings never looked right to me and it now sits in a box unloved!

 

Will be interested to see how your Z turns out though - nice job so far.

yes its a compromise on the 8f chassis which i was not happy with but don`t have the time to do one as id like at the moment so this is a dry run I may consider doing the DMR kit at some point but its not very likely at the moment but also was tempted with the w class but its going to be the shunter next in its southern style as its hopefully a lot quicker than waitting for one to come from Bachmann in RTR and its a bit different from the standard 08!

 

thanks for the comments I hope to have some paint on it soon!

cheers ian.
