SIMPLEX 20/28HP PLATE-FRAME NARROW GAUGE DIESEL [4A] (BODY ONLY) (O9 Gauge 7mm scale)

This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin and is a complete body 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 Simplex loco running on a number of light railways and manufactured by Motor Rail.

Photos 6 to 11 are of an example of the item as you will receive it. The first 4 photos are of a body mounted to the chassis and couplings added (couplings, motorised chassis and track are not included in the sale). 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, file / sand the bottom edge flat and it is ready to paint / fit to the chassis and add the couplings (not supplied).

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 63.8mm long, 24.6 wide and 36.0mm high.
