todeni Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I have recently become the proud owner of an ex GEM Stroudley 0-4-2 B1 kit (oo Scale) but have drawn an absolute blank as to obtaining chassis or main frames for both loco and tender. Any help and (or) directions as to where I might get them would be greatly appreciated . Many Thanks, Ian H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted April 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 17, 2023 Do Alan Gibson do anything suitable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matloughe Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I believe I looked at this model on a well known auction site as well and was dissuaded from bidding because of the chassis issue. I was advised that Alan Gibson may do chassis sides (LM1-209. Gladstone 0-4-2), but you would still need to source/make the spacers to keep the chassis the correct distance apart as well as looking at getting the wheelsets from somewhere. EB Models (Exclusively Brighton Models) although not selling a B1 Gladstone might be able to help with a tender chassis. I hope we'll get to see your model progress. Kind Regards, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherman Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Would an Hornby GWR 0-4-2 14xx chassis chassis fit. Or perhaps a cheap Airfix version of the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Holliday Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Albion produced a brass kit for the Gladstones. The range is now in the hands of Roxey Mouldings, and I believe is slowly being reintroduced. However I think this, or the EBM route, would be quite expensive, and I’m not sure if their chassis would actually fit beneath the Gem body castings.

Steamport Southport Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 GEM did a modern etched chassis kit for loco and tender. If it's as good as the others it will be very good. I've got the NBR J83 and LNWR Watford Tank and 2-4-2T ones. Might be worth getting in touch with the new owner to see if he has any as he's slowly reissuing them. http://www.johndaymodels.co.uk/whats-new/ Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todeni Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thanks All, I managed to get a D1 chassis from Ian Maccormac at EE models, so problem solved. So thanks again all, Ian H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barclay Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) Wow I looked at this too but it did look a bit of a basket case so I wasn't prepared to spend much on it ! I hope you'll describe its re-building in a thread ? Edit - must be a different one - I didn't see how old this thread was !
