BodyKit For a Kato

Post by tom_armitage »

Hey, Just bought myself a Kato 11-103 chassis.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Powered-Motorized ... 2eb21c8a91

It has been purchased for use in my electronics A2 Corsework (A fully automatic end to end layout with points). To be used on 009 track as i have some stored under the 00 Layout.

Anyway I quite fancy putting a body kit on this chassis, I assume its going to have to be a diesel (Although a steam loco with tramskirts would be nice) Can anyone recomend a body kit, that looks quite nice, that i could use. If it ever gets run with stock it will be with some Parkside simple 4 wheel coaches or some slate wagons.

I'm pretty sure the Peco GVT Tram can be modified to fit... also you could use other 0-6-0 body kits and make plasticard skirts... See here for the Peco kit!

I've got one of those to fit under the body of the Airfix 101" Forward Control Land Rover Ambulance, to make an unusual railcar.
