LNER/BR Class A8 4-6-2T Loco chassis for the DJH kit built locos. This chassis is available in both EM/P4 and OO gauges.
From what we've learned from producing the A5/2 kit, the A8 production chassis has been redesigned to make the chassis even better. Due to a lot of registered interest, a OO gauge version has been developed at the same time. Both EM/P4 and OO versions are now available from us for immediate despatch.
