RUSTON & HORNSBY MINIATURE / NARROW GAUGE DIESEL [2] (BODY ONLY) (O9 Gauge 7mm scale)

This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin and is a complete body (with separate roof) to create an O scale miniature railway loco (7mm / foot) running on 9mm track.

This was commissioned by a customer who was looking to extend his O gauge railway to include a local community railway similar to the 15" and 18" estate railways of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This engine is modelled on a loco running on the Steeple Grange Light Railway manufactured by Ruston and Hornsby.

Photos 5 to 8 are of an example of the item as you will receive it (the chassis, couplings and track are not included in the sale). Photos 1 to 3 show the body fitted with a KATO 11-109 chassis (available as an option). These are genuine photos taken with a full frame 35mm SLR and not digital representations. You simply need to remove the two formers from the base, remove the window supports, file / sand the bottom edge flat, smooth the roof and it is ready to paint / fit. It even includes slots on the cab sides to fit glazing (just don't glue the roof on first!!).

It is designed to run on a KATO 11-103 or KATO 11-109 chassis (available as an option) that simply clips into the body. It also uses two standard Peco GR-102 009 couplings (not supplied) that slot neatly into the bodywork.

Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos. The loco body is 62mm long, 24.3 wide and 44.5mm high.
