1ngram Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I've put this in the Wanted section of the Forum as well but just in case. . . I'm looking for a contemporary French tender loco for my ROD HO cameo layout I'm building in the fiddle yard if my main GNSR layout. The obvious one is the Rivarossi Bourbonais 0-3-0. But I can't see one anywhere for sale in the UK. They appear sometimes on eBay in France and Italy but both the postage cost, post Brexit and the 20 percent VAT make the costs prohibitive. Is there anyone here with one of these who would consider selling? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcodelic Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) I stumbled on this whilst looking for something else: https://clarkrailworks.com/products/rivarossi-ho-1344-0-6-0-3-a-1-sncf-body-shell?_pos=3&_sid=31e013c62&_ss=r It is described as a body shell only but it appears to have a chassis... No connection, but thought it might be of interest? Edited March 29, 2021 by Sarcodelic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 In fact it's a runner with an SNCF bodyshell and I've bought it. Many thanks for the information. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ngram Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Now arrived but front light is bust. Where in UK sells suitable 12 volt bulbs that would fit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianp Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Are you aware that the latest catalogue from REE advertises four different versions of the 030 Bourbonnais? Link: http://catalogues.ree-modeles.com/2021-ree-h0/#p=11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellocoloco Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi, If you're going to repaint it the maybe the Mabar Renfe 030 might do. Ref: 82200, 82201, 82202, 82203, 82204 and probably others. Similar to the Rivarossi 030 but a much more modern model but you would probably need to look at a continental retailer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
