I am in a long winded chase for a reasonably priced motor unit to fit under a P&D Marsh Sentinel Shunter white metal kit. I've followed the various post previously rumbling around on the forum, Pro Hobby Ca-ND-1 Carmel-Micro N Scale Chassis from Osbornes, who never reply to e-mails, and am more confused than ever.
I was wondering if anyone thought this may be suitable?

Also, this motor bogie appeared on Ebay, is this the one from the HST125 and the early 101EMU that they suggest?

If so, it seems a bit steep, what do others think?
:confused2:

I can recommend the Tomytec bogie :thumbsup:
Is that a recommendation as in "it's a good chassis" or a "yes it fits well under the Sentinel"?
I'm still somewhat "at sea" with kits like this and obviously don't want to spend a chunk of cash on something unsuitable. Would have bought the Pro-Hobby chassis if I could find one.

Its a v. good bogie
Thanks for the information. I have just ordered a Tomytec HM-01 to try out for one of my own projects.
From the pictures, it looks too bulky for very much, but will not know unless I try.
It is all clip together and comes apart to remove parts you don't need.
I got one on inside an Oxford die-cast tram
Anybody got any ideas of what the wheelbase is?
15mm
here are some photos. I have thinned the wheels to fit the body.

I may have asked the wrong question there. What I'm after is the distance between axle centres.
:D
15mm
Strewth thats short!
What diameter are the wheels?
I'm still struggling to visualise the chassis I'm after.
:laugh3:
6mm
Gawd! I'm getting dizzy just thinking about working on it!
:sweat:
Has anyone got any thoughts about the motor bogie linked in the first post?
I'd ideally like to DCC the Sentinel, but I may be over reaching on that, do you think?
