Review: Great quality and works very well - Just for use with B Train Shorty kits. Very good performance, goes round Kato's sharpest radius curves (approx 4.5") at realistic tram speeds. I've just got back in to modelling, and I|'m making a \pizza style 2 level tram micro layout. the \b train shorty trams/light rail models are just right. I'll be buying more of these in a while.
Review: Great chassis, can’t beat the price! - Fantastic little chassis! Nice and cheap and runs pretty smoothly. To be turned into a Pechot Bourdon 009 locomotive with a scratch built body (the wheelbase is exactly the same). The motor and driven bogie (one is driven and collects power, one only collects power) can be removed relatively easily with a small screwdriver and can both can be used as donor parts for a different loco if need be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good item at the price.
*by M***D on 5 June 2025*

It's worth pointing out that only one of the bogies has traction, the other is just for pickup, so this limits the pulling power, but at the price, it's a good item.
