Morning all,
I have been given this little Trix Loco

Runs perfectly so do I use as is or if there is a suitable British outline body find one and change it.
Modelling stupid small scale using T gauge track and IDl induction track. Still have  N gauge but not the space( Japanese Trams) Excuse spelling errors please, posting on mobile phone

I think the 009 guys go crazy for these, might be worth selling and reinvesting the money if your looking for uk outline

Hugely reliable though, my uncle used to use them to double head on his OO museum of transport (on the minature railway) and even after 2 days solid running they were ready for more, with little or no maintenance.

The chassis in question was used for the UK 'Minitrix Dock Tank'. In kit form it also fits

- ABS 1366 pannier
- ABS GCR J63
- Graham Hughes CR 491 class

and a couple of others.

The ABS ones are a bit hard to find as they are only available direct from ABS which basically means at the odd shows Adrian still attends. The Hughes one is 'rare' (really rare not ebay rare!)
