thanks for any help given.

I held off buying one as Dapol have one coming this year.  No idea how you would motorise it with such a long 4-wheel chassis.

take a look at the Kato DRC3.
around 490 quid delivered from the US, beautiful runner, short bogies and all you need to do is get a motor somewhere near the middle of the floor (in all 3 axis) then hook up the supplied driveshafts to the motor.

I had mine plogging round 10" curves at 24"/min

Pacers don't have bogies!

I was confused there lol.

just googed it and that should be a problem to build, take a look at the kato shorty chassis, then cut and lengthen it. shouldnt take more than a couple of hours once you have it sussed.

outer details will take time though

Shorty splitting is hard as the four wheel one is powered both ends. it's also mostly between the wheels (a pacer is fairly empty down there in comparison).  A pair of cut down shorty units might work, or building a long bogie for the middle four wheels. Either looked hard and with the Dapol one pending it's why I skipped buying a Worsley 142 in the end.

Nice body though, I've seen one made up and it looks the part.

yeah i think i'll buy one and see what happens!

yeah but the release date has already been put back to the end of the year, then how much is it gonna be???

thanks all.

Is that a challenge? will you do etched sides if I can supply the chassis?
Im pretty confident on this one
