Model Forum / General / Railroads / July 2010Cheapest HO/OO chassis
I'm looking for a cheap new motorised HO chassis to mount custom bodies on. Suggestions anyone? url:http://myreader.co.uk/gp/1351-1.aspx > I'm looking for a cheap new motorised HO chassis to mount custom bodies on. > Suggestions anyone? > > url:http://myreader.co.uk/gp/1351-1.aspx Unclear/incomplete question. Eg, diesel? Steam? Etc. Anyhow, there are no cheap chassis that are worth buying IMO. Best bet is to find a decent used loco and discard the body. wolf k. > > I'm looking for a cheap new motorised HO chassis to mount custom bodies on. > > Suggestions anyone?

But he could build anything with side skirts that hide the wheels, like a Y6 or J70 tram engine. The J70 was an 0-6-0 not an 0-4-0 but its wheelbase was only a few inches longer than the earlier Y6. There's an old Railway Modeller article circa 1961 which gets posted from time to time, by the Rev. W. Awdrey describing how he built Toby (a J70) on a motor bogie. > The poster hasn't said what he wants to build. Chap I saw at the York show had built Emmet's 0-2-0 once. Now that was neat. IIRC. The actual model described in the article in question is a Y6 not a J70. >>> > I'm looking for a cheap new motorised HO chassis to mount custom >>> > bodies on.
