This Japanese site sells tiny n gauge chassis.
Most of its motors are 6V to 12V.
Is it possible to alternative for Tsugawa's 0-4-0?
Well. It's off topic, but I found new Japanese nn3 blog.
He is modeler who make nn3 conversion kit of TGW chassis and small locomotives(n gauge Decauville, nn3 Darjeeling railway)
Well, is it possible to nn3 Talyllyn Rqilway?

Brilliant thank you for posting. For some time I've been working on a CAD Peckett 0-4-0 body to 3d print in the hope of creating a replica of 'Rocket' the one they have here at Telford steam railway. I ideally need an 11mm wheelbase and 6.6mm wheels but I'm sure with a little poetic license theirs would fit the bill at 12mm wheelbase and 7mm wheels :thumbsup:

They use 6V motor, so it could better than TGW's motor.
Seems like they didn't post to oversea, you will need to use parcel forwarding service.
Cheers for that - I've emailed them requesting full dimensions or better still a drawing so see what happens :thumbsup:
These look very interesting. Thanks for posting. I've designed various Peckett bodyshells (https://www.shapeways.com/product/BH8TN6ZWT/n-gauge-peckett-0-4-0?optionId=308433530&li=shops) around the N-Drive Productions (https://www.n-driveproductions.com/) chassis, but it appears these might be even smaller.

Its more smaller than Kato's Chibiloco
We could make finescale 0-4-0s

This is link of TGW.
You can purchase its chassis in ¥4500.
And even with small Koppel and Deki 3 locomotives.

https://world-kougei.com/smp/
Japanese company Toma model works and arumodel, which is famous for small HOe/n gauge product.
And World Craft also provides small n gauge parts.
But you will need to use parcel forwarding agency to purchase it.
Thank you for some excellent info #le night ferry . I really thought I'd end up having to do some dreadful bodge on a diesel bogie or something like that :D
#maridunian Thanks for that - some beautiful models you have there :thumbsup: . I shall be very tempted by several of them. I'm kind if doing this as an exercise to try to learn CAD and 3d printing. Its quite a steep learning curve but at least I have the real thing as reference just down the road :)

Hope to your modeks getting well
Thank you. Got this back from the guys at NarrowGauge.com. Looks absolutely perfect for a peckett :thumbsup:

Thanks - that looks very useful. Is it a 12v design?
"narrowgauge.com" seems a bit dodgy though - it's unsecured and the domain name is up for sale by GoDaddy.
Mike
Should be narrow-garage.com...

Hi Mike yes sorry typo on my part. As the previous poster says This is the correct link http://www.narrow-garage.com/NarrowGarage.html#N-Power-Parts
Some intersting stuff there I've assumed its 12v but I'll check :thumbsup:
If you scroll up to the top and click on the Union Flag it changrs to English
Hmm... the coreless motors seem to be listed as 12V but the other can motors are more like 5V (maybe 9V max?)

Yeah
Most of its motors are around 5-6V
Just recieved an email from them the motors are 6v nominal, 9v max. As my idea is not a commercial venture and just for myself I'd probably happy just remembering not to use full throttle although I assume the problem could be solved by adding a resistor in DC or programming in the max throttle on DCC. I dont really know much about DCC yet so apologies if thats wrong
