As usual, I am a model railway junk magnet - and the latest waif and stray to come my way is this O gauge chassis.
It's well made, with a lovely gear train.
Pop a 9v battery on, and it turns over silky smoothly.
But what is it? I suspect the chassis is scratchbuilt, possibly in the 1960s from the look of it. The wheels I don't recognise either. They are like giant Romfords, with those central retaining nuts.

I can't access my collection of old catalogues, but the rounded corners would suggest a commercial product to me.. But then again...
Wheels might be by the Leeds Model Company. There is a nice little rabbit hole here... https://www.milbromodelrailways.co.uk/
Interesting web page - and I agree, the wheels look the same. I wonder if this is from a 2P?
