The chassis is from a [[http://www.backwoodsminiatures.com/][Backwoods Miniatures]]
Bagnall. Actually an 009 (00 1:76 scale, 9 mm gauge) kit for
only 40.00 GBP, available direct from the manufacturer. The
chassis kit includes some etched nickel-silver parts
(mainframe, rods, crosshead, etc.) motor (Mashima), wheels and
gears. It is a superb slow runner due the 54:1 gear ratio. The
superstructure is cannibalized from a Joe Works 0-4-0 Porter. I
used 2 saddletanks for my new Porter (the second saddletank
came from a Joe Works RGS 0-6-0T). The Joe Works locomotives
have never worked reliable.

If you would like to use also a Backwoods Miniatures Bagnall
chassis for your locmotive projects, here are some
measurements. The Baldwin 2-4-2T would be also good starting
point for a conversion.
