cromptonnut Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi all I have an urge to mess about with a small UK freelance OO-9 project but as a beginner I am a bit clueless. I have two Farish 08's, one old style and one new style, that seem eminently suitable for a loco but I'm not sure where to even start looking for something that I can use it as a chassis for a loco. Probably lean towards a small diesel but not totally adverse to steam, so I'd be grateful if someone could suggest a few places where I can pick up a fairly simple "paint and forget" type body. Stock isn't so difficult but again if anyone has simple recommendations that'd be great. Many thanks 'Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If you want do something exciting then make sure you look at RT models website I think its very likely that Chris Ward will have something 3D printed for those chassis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The obvious choice could be a Pugbash ? Still available from Dapol as a kit Here is mine ... http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/86807-scratch-built-4mm-009-loco-wish-me-luck/page-2&do=findComment&comment=1500055 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cnw6847 Posted January 29, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 29, 2015 Narrow Planet makes a 3D printed diesel loco body for the outside frame 08.http://narrowplanet.co.uk/products/NPL-004 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike@morton Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hiya I can recommend the WD Baldwin by Chris Ward for the inside framed 08 (mainly because I'm the designer...), but if you want to see what the end product can be like, just take a look at what Brian has done with it here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/91412-wdlr-4-6-0-baldwin-from-cwrailways/&do=findComment&comment=1742693 which has been enhanced using the RT models valve gear. Take a look at the different variations here http://www.cwrailways.com/baldwins.html and get in touch with Chris if any take your fancy. Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
