GWR 58XX Chassis

[GKman]

I have acquired an old Cavendish model of G.W.R. Body kit. It recommends a Grafar Holden Chassis (which I can't find anywhere.
Please help me find a suitable chassis for this body

The 5800s were a non-autofitted variant of the 48/1400 class of 0-4-2s. I would think the Dapol auto-tank chassis should be correct although if the kit has been designed to fit a different chassis, some work may be required.

These are normally available from DDC Supplies although they are currently showing as out of stock.
