I don't know who has the has these kits as I belive they are out of production. There is a thread on RMweb regarding these products. Terry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matti8 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 What is the axle spacing? That would help. Matti Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Almost certainly an Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T. Probably a replacement for the Keyser Kit chassis. I was looking at a Comet version earlier. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/locomotive/lf11/ Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob94 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 They are the Comet frames for a V2 the tab in front of the cylinders is for a slot on the body. The frames are fairly old though any bought new from Wizards are nickel silver, They're very nice to build in my experience, hope this helps.

Steamport Southport Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Yes. I didn't even consider the V2 as I thought the rear was different with the Cartazzi truck. Here's the relevant page. https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/locomotive/lf36/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
