I've had a look through my notes and now understand why I had 121/122 in my head.

My original route was via the Worsley Workw scratch aids.  I was going to cut and shut the 121 chassis because it has the exposed longitudinal frame moulded as part of the chassis.  The brass sides would then have sat upon them.

With the 3d print having the exposed longitudinal frame as part of the print, the 101 chassis will now be okay and won't need much in the way of surgery.  Hopefully.

Mystery (at least the one in my head) solved.

If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they're going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do."

quite exciting to see stuff happening here. I started the query off so long ago that I don't even have a working British outline layout anymore though...

hmm...

All very interesting for a Waverley Route modeller, but I'm not sure that the Gloucester units ventured south of Hawick.  I have been pondering Derby Lightweights which worked Carlisle-Hawick in the 1960s but I don't need one urgently so I might wait and see if someone starts making them, hint hint.

I didn't know about these vehicles. Nice to find out a bit more from Railcar.co.uk which has a good deal of knowledge of them.
