Is it possible to convert the Dapol class 22 into a class 21/29

I know it will need lengthening and chopped about a lot

Has this been done by anyone?

Hi Rabbitaway,

I did look at this when Revolution unsuccessfully proposed the Class 21/9 a couple of years ago.

The difficulty was not so much the body, though that does require work, but finding the correct wheelbase bogies and a chassis with the right bogie centres.

From memory the best bet was a Class 24 chassis, with spoked wheels and replacement bogie sideframes/underframe, but I did not get as far as actually checking how feasible it would be.

If you give it a bash please post some photos etc as I would love to see how you get on!  It might inspire me to give it a shot - even though our crowdfunding campaign came up woefully short, I would still quite like a 29!

Cheers

Ben A.
