They both were originally designed for a Fleischmann 7000, also fits an N-drive 12mm wheelbase chassis with the ends trimmed down.
Both of mine have chassis by Nevill Kent of N-Drive and once run-in perform well. Their pulling power is impressive with some lead in the smokebox and boiler.

This 3D printed kit for the full cab GVT Tram loco is designed for the latest KATO 33-109 motor bogie. Indeed it just clips in with no additional work required.
The window glass just clips in , although I secured them additionally with a smear of varnish.
Still awaiting lining, the model performs well and looks superb.
Seen here performing on Woody Lane at the recent Woodgreen Steam and Model Railway Show.

However, I did record Princess's first exhibition and she performed superbly.
I must admit I was surprised by her haulage capability which mirrored comments from other owners.
A very successful exhibition with great sandwiches and - best of all- CAKE!
Thanks SSWRS for a great weekend.
Princess was the loco that I purchased at an excellent price from Salisbury Model Centres stand at the recent Woodgreen show.
Whilst preparing Woody Lane for the Salisbury Exhibition I took the opportunity to run the loco in for 30 minutes in either direction.
She ran perfectly from out of the box with a decent pulling power despite her diminutive size.
She will be performing this coming weekend , 21st/22nd May 2022,at the Salisbury and South Wilts RS, Michael Herbert Hall, South Street, Wilton, SP2 0JS.
Opening times-10.30 - 16.30 both days.
If you attend do come and say hello.
The layout is a simple oval with passing loop and siding in the station. The fiddle yard enables a couple of trains to be assembled and run individually.
The bonus is an end to end raised section which, for entertainment purposes ensures that something is always running whilst the mainline disappears from view.
A Double Fairlie from a 3D print on a KATO bogie chassis.
Seen awaiting it's next duty at Woody Lane.
Below it is seen coupled to its mineral train consisting of 009 Society and Jurassic wooden kit wagons mounted on PECO 'N' gauge wagon chassis fitted with metal wheels.
The loco's are all being tested and suitable stock selected.
Because of the tight radius of the track on Woody Lane, down to 7 inch radius, bogie stock is unable to be run.
So a selection of 4 wheel stock, GVR and Welshpool and Llanfair will be used-
First up is Woody Lane my 009 continuous run layout- self contained on a 4ft x 2ft board. Has its own lighting and once the controller and lighting transformers are installed, pretty much self contained.
Woody Lane has been invited to The Gartell Railway Open Day on the 12/13th February- described a few posts ago.
The wooden wagons from Jurassic models make a lovely rake- eight at present. I still have a couple to make and then the loads can be added.

Layouts to be confirmed- Woody Lane will be there!
I am quite pleased with the result, I just need to source some suitable transfers to decorate the cabin area- it will not be quite so elaborate as the original- anyway I can't find suitable signage!
The coal load is a resin moulding which, with a modicum of fettling fits the loading bay.
The canal wharf at Gwartha Vellan will have something to moor now!
The second batch- production versions have arrived. To order yours please contact Mike on-mike.jurassic@btinternet.com
Eight more lazer cut kits requiring PECO wagon chassis.
I only have three chassis that are suitable so a quick order to Derails secured the five I need. For some reason it is cheaper to buy a complete wagon (unpainted) than a chassis kit from other suppliers.
Still that is my gain.
The Box & Sons wagon is , of course, fictitious but adds some variety to the rake.
There are still a couple to make and they will have a different livery from these all ready made.
This is a brass etch from Brynkits which appears to no longer be available.
The bogies have been substituted for PECO examples- will run with my existing stock.
The roof is my usual venetian blind slat glued on with UHU and secured with elastic bands whilst curing.
Last photo sees completed coach.
They will be run as a rake of six with a Greenwich coupling at one outer end and a coupling with no loop at the other.
I am very pleased with the result and await further kits.
Thoroughly recommended for a beginner as the chassis is RTR and the wagon simple to assemble.
They are made by Jurassic Models and Mike can be contacted on-
He will shortly be setting up to produce more kits so it is a good time to contact him to order.
The plan is for black ironwork on a faded weathered grey painted wagon.
I find a grey primer base easier to dry brush or apply weathering powders to.
It is starting to come together, the next job is to paint the chassis and ironwork.
The cattle wagon is an 009 Society kit and the gunpowder van is from Rodney Stenning.
Still needing painting, the cattle wagon is the second I have built and goes together superbly. Four holes need to be drilled out, guides already moulded, for the wire safety rails- shown in brass- supplied.
Conversely the gunpowder van is tiny and a bit of a problem, for me, to get the wheels to rotate smoothly even with a lot of lead weight.
The final picture shows the gunpowder van coupled to a Bachmann Baldwin which illustrates how small this wagon is.
Next to paint with some grey primer first.
