O9 GAUGE RUSTON & HORNSBY NARROW MINIATURE GAUGE DIESEL BODY - 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 loco running on the Yaxham Light Railway manufactured by Ruston and Hornsby.

The photos are of an example of the item as you will receive it (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.

It is designed to run on a KATO 11-103 or KATO 11-109 chassis (not supplied) 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 61mm long, 26.8 wide and 32.0mm high.

It will be dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class with suitable protective packaging.

O9 scale modelling is a nice alternative to the traditional narrow gauge and can be used to create a smaller, more agricultural addition to any O gauge layout.
