My first post :)
About 35 years ago I bought a large box of N gauge stuff, secondhand (yes, I know  ::)) Now that I've more time on my hands, and more space, I have gone back to the layout I started around 10 years ago. Among the box of stuff was these four locomotives- I suspect at least a couple of them are kit-built, as there were 3 packs of (unused) white-metal kits in there with them. Can anyone identify the locomotives that these are modelled on? Sadly none of them are operational, and need an overhall.

Hi Corbie, and welcome to the forum :wave:
Sorry I can't help with identifying the locos but, as you say, they do look like kit built or maybe even some kind of 009 stuff :hmmm:

Ah! Of course- I think you may be right. Thanks. Two of the unmade kits are 009.

the bottom (red, green diesel) pair look like Roco  generic locos with a repaint
(there should be a makers name on the bottom of the chassis)

Top right is a Peco 009 kit

look up 009 locos (images)  on Google and you should find a match

Hi

Top right in first picture and bottom left in second picture is what looks like the Peco Glyn Valley Tram loco.

From the first picture:

Top left is some sort of kit or scratch-built narrow gauge loco on an Arnold 0-4-0 chassis.  Looks a bit like the Langley Prince body

Top right is a Peco narrow gauge loco on what I would guess is a Farish 0-6-0 chassis.

Bottom left is a repainted Eggerbahn or Jouef narrow gauge loco.

Bottom right is a Roco HOe narrow gauge diesel, similar to this one

Selling the chassis here may be a good move,  even if non runners

G'day from Australia, Corbie, and welcome to the NGF!  :thumbsup:

Definitely 009 stuff. I actually owned a couple of similar locos a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  :beers:

I couldn't see a For Sale section on the forum- have I missed it? As you can tell by the fact these have been in a box for decades I should pass them on to someone who will appreciate them- together with the unbuilt kits.
