Bachmann J72 split-chassis bodyshell

[kelsh003]

Hi folks, hope everyone is well.

 

Looking to try and get a body for a Bachmann J72 of my fathers. Loco runs fine but the lining and numbering is peeling off, and would love to surprise him with a fresh body. If anyone has one they are willing to sell then please let me know.

 

The loco is 31-050A, a split-chassis model, not the earliest example though, from the old-style Bachmann blue box and the image of the loco in the window. It is LNER 8680, although if someone has a body in the Joem/BR Apple Green livery I would not be adverse to that.

 

My preference though is for the LNER green as 8680. Will attach images of the loco in question.

 

Thanks to anyone that can help.

theres a loco on ebay and you'd have a spare chassis:

Cheers for that. I'll consider it, although sadly that has some rubbing on the body as well.

 

If anyone does have one as close to pristine as possible please let me know.

A bit late, you may already have sourced a body, but there's what looks to be a tidy example (poor runner) for sale at Elaine's Trains here.

Many thanks Neil. I hadn't managed to source one so I've messaged Elaine to try and nab that one.

You're most welcome, Elaine has always been really helpful and pleasant to deal with.
