SRman Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It certainly has some character to it, and it is instantly recognisable as a class 71. An interesting find. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
33C Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 Whoever produced this "kit" may have had a range and if so, does anyone know who supplied it and were there other body styles. As above, it's thick perspex with wood veneer sides and appears to comprise sides, fronts, half floor and pre-drilled roof for pantograph installation. Motor bogie, trailing bogie, pan and smaller details seem to be buyers choice. The battery box was absent so is a shaped balsa block. Over to you......

RMweb Premium decauville1126 Posted March 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2022 The chassis are Triang Transcontinental diesel ones, so secondhand spares should be plentiful. But they are pretty bulletproof. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
