Motorised Chassis suitable for tender drive

[persistent_bodger]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me with regards to what is available for a track powered 0-4-0 chassis that I might use for tender drive. I had thought about a playmobil or stainz chassis but wondered if anyone could recommend alternatives.
Thanks in advance
Tim

How about the LGB motorised tender? They come up on ebay now and again.

One of the USATrains power bogies would also work well

The LGB tender could well be a possibility but it may require quite a lot of modifications, I'll keep my eye out on ebay. Thanks Doug I'll have a look into those.

The locomotive I'm collecting the bits for is the Cyprus Government Railways 4-4-0. I've scaled the drawings to 15mm / 3ft gauge so it will complement my other stock. The tender is quite short so the shorter the wheel base the better.

Looking at the photo the wheel diameter looks small as well as the wheelbase being short so either the USAT or Aristo 44 / 45 tonner motor bogies look like being a good fit. Also worth considering are the Hartland Mach Railbus bogies and Marklin Maxi shortwheelbase 0-4-0.
