We are delighted to be able to offer the Rapido Trains Cranmore Chassis for all your scratch- and kit-building needs. This chassis shares many similarities with the previously announced 'Sirdar' mechanism, with 6-pin DCC decoder socket, Museum quality plain black paint finish and a smooth and powerful mechanism with flywheel. Couplings in NEM pockets are included.
To provide ultimate flexibility (and to make sure nobody feels unsure which mechanisms to purchase) we intend to make all our kits compatible with both the Cranmore and Sirdar chassis.
Pre-Order the Rapido Trains CRANMORE CHASSIS ONLY for just £1, with the fulfillment price of just £66.45 (total price with depost - £67.45).
You consent for Fourdees Limited to contact you via email when the models arrive in stock and are ready to purchase. To purchase at the discounted price above, you must purchase within two weeks of being invited to complete your order.

To help showcase what can be done with the Cranmore chassis, we have developed six models of various styles.
These models have been designed so that they will also fit the Sirdar Chassis. For some kits, one chassis is more 'authentic' to the prototype, but on a model railway, Rule 1 applies!
There is no need to wait to pre-order these kits, as we will likely make these available before the Cranmore chassis arrive in stock.
The sole surviving Cranmore Class locomotive 'Sir John Grice' is a slightly larger variant of the machine, built to 2'6" gauge. Featuring a wider frame, cab and shallower angle to the smokebox.
In thanks to Rapido for providing the chassis to the 009 community, we've narrow-gauged their Peckett & Sons locomotive 'Marcia' to make this cute little engine (including it's much-loved bunker!).
This inverted-saddle-tank is inspired by similar machines for which W.G. Bagnall became known. Designed for their greater stability over rough track compared to the traditional saddle-tank.
This 0-4-0ST is inspired by similar machines built by Andrew Barclay to both narrow and standard gauge, and features the 'squared profile' saddle-tank found on their locomotives.
This ogee tank is inspired by similar machines built by Andrew Barclay. One such locomotive 'Chevalier' was to be found on the Campbeltown and Machrihanish Light Railway, Scotland.
And now for something completely different... a narrow-gauge Fireless locomotive, inspired by similar machines built by Andrew Barclay. One such machine worked the Bowaters Paper Railway.
