I will be making my own chassis for it as I want slightly bigger 14mm/ 3' 6" wheels (rather than 12mm / 3') and slower running so the Peckett W4 chassis it is mainly designed for I have just borrowed from my own Peckett W4, that's why I have not painted the wheels greener.  The #6 is a home made decal, not perfect but good enough.  I'm VERY happy!  Will get some faces sorted later as I like to use faces as well as smokebox doors.

 

Email me at sparkshot082@gmail.com if you'd like this bodyshell or any of  the other variants for £34.89 + postage and packaging.  On Shapeways they are around £63 instead!

I wonder how it'd look in a different livery?

Brilliant job innit. Already said it but very excited to get mine and start work, especially after the brilliant job you’ve done on yours.

Well, I think that's the definitive Percy, well done!

 

The shade of green is a very good choice, too.  

 

Are there 14mm wheels that would fir the Hornby axles, I wonder?

Thanks, :)  I don't know.  I find it easier to build chassis than convert them sometimes.  I will be having slightly bigger slide bars too.

 

00 and P4 chassis to make, already started them for the V1 then after that will do the V2 ones.   Model in this blog is a V2.
