RMweb Gold Royal42 Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 I have acquired this Grafar locomotive body and was going to scratchbuild a chassis for it. The loco will be a non-running static model and would like to know if anyone produces a dummy chassis for it? It would save me time having to scratchuild one. cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nig H Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi Mike, I think its a GWR 2-6-2T so you could get a 61XX chassis kit from the Association, or David Eveleigh does a 45XX chassis, though for the Dapol body. An alternative might be to get a GF chassis already complete with wheels etc - maybe a simpler option. Nigel Hunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Royal42 Posted March 20, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Hello Nigel, thanks for this. I only joined the association (paid subscription) yesterday, so haven't received my membership details yet; however, I shall look for the 61XX chassis kit when I can. I have just looked for the chassis with wheels at the Graham Farish but could only find bodies. Any advice on where to look specifically? I do like the choices of bodies and at affordable prices, I will look at those again later, thank you for advising me of GF.

RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hi Mike, Finding a chassis - either a runner or non runner is a case of searching ebay. I have a running chassiis and you ha\ve the body I wanted for it! So - that will be at least 2 of us with ebay searches running for the item! Thanks Phil H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Royal42 Posted March 20, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Hi Phil, The layout I am planning is LMS/LNWR/BR and I have been advised that this body wouldn't be seen on that layout. So, if you have something to trade then it could find itself attaching to your chassis! I am only just starting out on this little venture, so l'm looking for anything; such as track, curves or even a body that fits my layout. cheers, Mike Edited March 20, 2021 by Royal42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
