Unpowered (Dummy) Locomotive Chassis'
I had a couple of spare bodies and wanted to make use of them, by creating the chassis it meant that we modellers could have either a Loco sat in the depot making it look even prettier or even running a double headed train on your layout without having to buy 2 motorised loco's.
The bogie side frames have detail a plenty, and Rapido style sprung coupling pockets allowing you to couple to another locomotive should you wish to for double heading, or for a dead in tow locomotive.
Class 31 Chassis - £23 per vehicleSuitable for Poole and China build Graham Farish Chassis |
The Chassis for the Class 31 is a 1 size fits all offering with an underslung fuel tank.
If the body you have has buffers and a bufferbeam, using Snips, cut the Cab Floor with bufferbeam off outside the Bulkhead (upright) wall on either end. If it's a new style body with no buffers, the chassis fits straight in, although be warned the bulkhead fits between the back of the cab and a window at one end on the bodyside IT'S A TIGHT FIT! you could cut the Bulkheads off
It comes with a chassis, 2 bogies with retainer pins, 4 buffers, 6 wheels and 2 couplings with springs.
