I have a perfectly working Triang B12 chassis and a nice condition tender in BR back. Has anyone out there got a gash B12 body that is not too badly off. So that I can bash this beast into some sort of decent order.
TIA

PS. Who knows, I could make a good job of fixing it up and then sell it to Aldo for 150 quid! After heavily weathering it with red oxide paint of course!
Years ago this used to be a fav chassis for kit built bodys.. You could always widen your horizons

I had thought of this as a good project idea but the only kits I could find were brass ones. Do you think the old AIRFIX (aka Dapol) Schools class would work or would it look too wrong with the wheelset and gear.

John.
Silly me of course it is.

ISTR Railway Modeller once had a (?series of) article(s) on chopping up B12s to produce a whole range of other locos.
