MarkWLB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted January 20, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 20, 2022 You could also use a Comet Jinty chassis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Comet 4F chassis would do the job 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexAshton Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 High Level Kits Jinty chassis is probably the best one out there although it won't be the cheapest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some photos, the first one shows one frame after modification and the other beforehand: Edited January 23, 2022 by Captain Kernow Upload additional photo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 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.
