Description
The Hornby 0-4-0 models are some of the best starter locomotives that have been around for years, and many have at least one. They've been used as or for unique customs. the only downside many have noted is their impeccable speed, earning them the nickname "Pocket Rocket('s)".
This custom chassis was made as an alternative if you wish to spice up your already existing shells or shells you wish to design and make. as shown in the images above, I put the Beggs Tooling (same mold as Smoky Joe) on it and gave the shell a new look. Does it look out of place given the detail already on it, Yes. But this would be perfect for the E2 shell, Class D shell, custom Tops/shells that use a tender, Industrial diesel shunters, and many more.
Please share your prints of this chassis with the top you put on it! Have it be to this page or my Twitter.
If you don't have a shell for this, I have made a 08 Diesel shunter top you can print to fit on it.:
