2015/2017 body wanted.....

I'm looking for a bodyshell (cab/tanks plus boiler, frame/footplate would be useful but not essential) from an LGB 2015 or 2017, or their newer counterparts - the "similar to a Stainz" type 0-4-0 loco with tender (I don't need the tender, just the loco body parts). Basically I want to put an 0-6-0 chassis (which I already have) under it to make a nice little semi-freelance 6 coupled tank loco.
The reason I'm asking on here is that I recently bought an old clamshell-gearbox 2015 (via German eBay) as a body donor for this project, with the intention of reusing the chassis and the motorised tender for something else in the future, but having got it here it's really MUCH too nice to cut up! ;)
So, I just wondered if anyone out there has anything suitable lurking in their spares box - happy to pay a sensible price for it, any age or livery will do!

Thanks,
Jon.
 
I could do you a stainz minus the motor block if thats any good, it has cab, boiler, frame, weights, but no circuit, boards.
 
Thanks Sparky, but it's not a Stainz body I need - the one used for the tender loco version is quite different - open-backed cab, larger side tanks, different boiler fittings etc. - that's the type I'm looking for.

Best,
Jon.

Thanks Ed, I'd spotted that one but it's going for more (at the BIN, anyway) than I paid for the one that I don't want to cut up! I'm really not looking for another whole loco, just the body - I was hoping that maybe someone here might have used a chassis and tender for a conversion, and just MIGHT have some body bits left. A long shot, perhaps, but the forum has come good on weirder things that that before!

Ta anyhow,
Jon.

Thanks, I've bought from Modell-Land several times, and they were the first place I looked; problem is that all you get is the bare cab moulding, once you add glazing, handrails and all the other fittings you need the price starts to mount up..... ;)
That's why I'm asking if anyone has a spare one available first. I've had one response by PM that may well have solved the problem, but any other offers are still welcome!

steve, if you DO decide to go this route, PLEASE let me know as really need the brake pump for one of mine, a yellow version which came from ebay-they are not that same as Stainz version, unfortunately

i am finding that things related to the 2015/ 2017's are rather hard to come by, and i have several really great US sources, all of which came up nill

so if you do, let me know and ill figure out some way to pay you
 
You could have my body too but I've donated it to science.......
