N Gauge Andrew Barclay 11" loco (for RTR chassis)

This bodyshell model represents the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST shunters, built from the late 1800s onwards, this particular example modelled with square-windowed cab and dumb buffers, a common configuration for industrial users.

This model (to 1:148 scale) fits the Tsugawa TU-Koppel A chassis - it's a simple push fit with lugs slotting into clips on the chassis. The chassis can be bought directly from Japan, or several UK suppliers import them. Space is left in the boiler to allow 7mm diameter steel rod to be added, which helps increase the weight for traction and improve the electrical pickup. Holes are included to allow the modeller to add 0.3mm wire to represent the handrails. A few dimensions are mildly compromised to allow it to fit the chassis but overall it is close to the prototype.
