Hi and welcome. I think you will be in for an extended search, relatively little came up on a 'UK lima n gauge' search term, and the most extensive discussion it yielded was on this site from 2013, attached in case it is useful. Hope this may be some help.

The N gauge society site maight be worth examination, bound to have some knowledgeable members.

It was only when I was asked to sell off of some hoarded models that I came across some Lima N gauge items. At the time of their release it made so little impression on my mind that I had to look back through my back numbers to find that, yes indeed Lima did release some UK N gauge models.

There are three 0-4-0 shunters on eBay, with a slightly different running number. If those are the ones, they appear to be plonked on a 'Eurpopean' chassis of some description. It'll be a tedious search, but if you can find out which one then spares may be much easier to find.
