RMweb Gold Nick C Posted April 28, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2021 I've just posted an ad in the wanted section, but thought I'd post here in case anyone else has a better idea... I've just picked up an old NuCast C2X kit without a chassis, and want to find a suitable RTR chassis to pop under it (I don't seem to be able to make a chassis that runs well). I believe the correct wheelbase is 8'0" + 8'0", with 5'0" wheels - so in 4mm, 20mm dia at 32 + 32mm. Other SR options are the 700 (5'1", 7'6"+9'0") or C (5'2", 8'0"+8'6"), neither of which really fit. The 4F is the same as the C, the GW locos also seem to all have unequal wheelbase. I think the closest I can find is the Hornby J15, 4'11" at a total of 16'1" - anything else I've missed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted May 2, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Nick, If you can't find a RTR Chassis and don't want to build one then ask Dave at SEF if he could supply a suitable chassis, parts and wheels and have it built for you. Sadly the cost of wheels + the chassis + motor/gearbox and build is going to be quite expensive compared to a RTR one, but it should look good in comparison. Phil Edited May 2, 2021 by Mallard60022 forgot gearbox & motor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Thanks Phil - Jack P has suggested the same, and I've bought a chassis from Dave. Now trying to muster up the courage to have a go at it following some helpful YouTube videos Jack sent me.
