Shorty Chassis

Hi does anyone know if the Shorty Chassis 111-05 is a replacement for the 111-03 as I have found a site that does 3d printing for 009 items at a reasonable cost ,but the Locos need the 11-03 chassis. For the record the firm is Budget Model Railways Many thanks

How about this one.

Thanks Pete but that sites US and once you convert to Aussie dollars you are up into the 100's ,but many thanks for trying cheers Brian

111-03 is 4 wheels. 111-05 is 2 bogie, 8 wheel. Not really interchangeable as the widths are different. The bogie version is from memory longer but narrower. I used to get mine directly from Japan.

Hi Nigel thanks for the info ,seems none of the Model Shops have got this in ,and I emailed Peters spares ,and got a reply that it was out of stock and they had no information on any time of delivery . I tend to buy in the UK as the prices are about half the ones in Oz.

No problem mate. I didn't realise it was from the states. Most of my stuff comes from England, not only because of prices but availability as well.

Seems that they are bringing out a new shorty 11-109 which I am told is a replacement for the 11-103and will be available sometime in the new year ,price appears to be about £25-30

That's better.

Available now, but watch out for import duties etc.
