4mm Scale 0-6-0 Chassis Kits with an 8' + 8' 6" wheelbase

[MarkWLB]

Hello All,

 

I'm looking for chassis kits with the above wheelbase, to assess which is the most suitable to put under a LSWR 0395 Class. I know the Comet 4F chassis would do the job, but if anyone knows of any others, I'd be very grateful if you could let me know, please.

 

Kind regards,

 

Mark

You could also use a Comet Jinty chassis.

I used a Comet 4F chassis, to go under an old DJH whitemetal body kit, which I started for Jack Benson of this forum.

 

The Comet chassis needed some modification to the shape of the frames, to fit the 0395 body.

High Level Kits Jinty chassis is probably the best one out there although it won't be the cheapest.

Here are some photos, the first one shows one frame after modification and the other beforehand:

London Road Models also supply the chassis from their Jinty as a separate kit. How easily it can be adapted I don't know. It will have half etched guides for cutting out the bearing holes to fit hornblocks if required but not the coil spring mounts and cutouts above them as shown on the Comet chassis.
