I have an incomplete 0-4-0 Peckett kit by Eric Underhill.  Need a chassis, connecting rods and cranks.  Are these still made?

Not the right place to ask this. Ask Andy to move it to Modelling questions, Help & Tips and you will stand a better chance of getting some helpful answers.

Better still, move to 'UK Standard Gauge Industrial Modelling'

O gauge? The kit was taken over and improved by Adrian Swain, who I believe is now deceased. If anyone has taken over his Zero Zephyrs range then they may be able to provide frames and rods, which were made from milled brass. Other than that, you're going to have to scratchbuild them.

 

Please clarify what you mean by "cranks".

I think that some of the Zero Zephyr (ex-Underhill) kits have been taken over by Iain Young at CSP Models. They list a Peckett W6 and a fireless loco on their website;
