Mainline/Early Bachmann Class 03 in BR Green - ALL SORTED now, thanks!

[Andrew D]

Hi folks, 

 

I’m after a Mainline, or early Bachmann, Class 03 split chassis in BR Green with wasp stripes - in fairly decent condition with tension lock couplings and a good runner (yes, I want jam on it too!) 

 

The smooth running is more important than the cosmetics, and I know it’ll be growly like all Mainline locos! 

 

If anyone has a nice example they looking to rehome because they are going DCC or something please let me know. 

 

Many thanks.

One which may be worth a look is currently available at the Junction Box Model Railways:

No connection with the company other than as a happy customer. I spotted this while being tempted by a few things myself....!

Simply fitting pick ups from the chassis half to the back of the driving wheels transformed the running of our 03, it was Bachmann until the motor failed then I fitted a very second hand Mainline chassis as a bodge, got tired of push starting it and fitted pickups to one pair of wheels.  Plan A involved 6 pickups but it ran so well with just the cab end ones done I decided to leave the rest until another day,  that was about 25 years ago and it was never done and it's still running, grinding grumbling but not stalling.

Thanks Neil. I’d never heard of the Junction Box until now, and my goodness that is a dangerous website! ;@) 

 

I have enquired after the 03 and also a Hornby Jinty. I just hope they will agree to mail order. Cheers!

PM me with your address and I have one in bits which you are welcome to.

 

It was a runner before it was dismantled!
