Helmdon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I've just come into possession of a superbly built 4mm body and chassis of the above, even liveried correctly for my period and area*. However, days of digging - possibly not looking in the right places - and I'm still none the wiser on where I'm going to get driving wheels, motor/gears for it! Anyone got any thoughts please? *This has pretty much been the holy grail for me as a Northants modeller. The seller had it down as an N4, which going by bunker length and safety valves I would agree with, but it has been liveried/numbered as an N5, so I'm thinking change the safety valve and ignore the bunker. Woodford Halse's N5 allocation lives again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Wheels, Markits (either direct or from a reseller like, say, Wizard Models). Scalelink are a cheaper alternative and both will sell you axles and nuts as well. Motor/gearbox - High Level. Use their gearbox planner to work out the best combination for your model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmdon Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 thanks - new to building loco kits. I needed an N5 and (perhaps naively) think that wheeling and engineing this might be ok.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
