piranha230 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I wish to announce the following 00 gauge new emu kits are available on Ebay class 507,508,313,314,315, class 455/7 trailer coach. The parts are 3d designed from official br drawings and cast in grey resin, I have made them available as individual part's so that its easier than buying a full kit in one go and it helps me spread the cost of the 3d design and printing. The 3d masters are made out of high definition crystal acrylic which gives them a very good finish. Each full bodyside comes as 3 pieces which join with a tab behind the middle of the double door's, the cab end is a full cab end excluding the floor, each rear end is the same with the corridor connection. These parts are currently available on Ebay, I am having a one week sale. Driving coach bodyside left and right class 507-315. £13.99 normally £17.99 with all other parts discounted for one week. Driving coach roof for the above. Cab end and coach rears class 507-315. Trailer coach roof class 507,508,315,455/7. Trailer coach bodyside left or right (fits both sides) class 507,508,315,455/7. Pantograph coach bodyside left and right class 314,315. The class 313,314,315 pantograph coach roof and the side for the class 313 and modified rear end panto side has finished being designed, I am waiting on them 3d printing the masters for these. After these the etched window frames are being done, then finally the floors, bogies and underframe components. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 1, 2017 Just had a look on eBay and I'm very tempted by the 507/508 bits, works out about £140 for a full 3 car set by my maths which is not too bad when you compare it to 'other' kits available that don't look anywhere near as detailed Hope you do well with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The parts mentioned above are available to buy on eBay via the following link. I had one of the cabs (all I've managed to order as yet) on the DEMU stand with me at Scalefourum, and it got a reasonable amount of interest and positive comments. (it should be noted there is also 442 and 309 parts listed there). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted October 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Hi Gordon, Only superglue would be good. Would epoxy not work with resin? ... asking for a friend Edited October 2, 2017 by Tim Dubya Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon H Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It all depends on what resin is being used, hence my original query. When I used polyester resin for my own 508 nearly 20 years ago, I found that the resin itself was the best adhesive. Other resins I have tried since do not seem to stick together so well using the same principle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other resins I have tried since do not seem to stick together so well using the same principle. It as all polyurethane resin now, I have the parts cast in grey resin ( usually used on model aircraft cast resin parts), as it looks better than normal coloured resin, I know it does not stick to itself, the only thing that sticks it together properly is superglue, I use the Asda branded twin pack liquid superglue its only about a pound but is very good stuff, they also do a gel version that's £1.75 for a twin pack but its on offer for a pound sometimes.

RMweb Premium amwells Posted October 2, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just had a look on eBay and I'm very tempted by the 507/508 bits, works out about £140 for a full 3 car set by my maths which is not too bad when you compare it to 'other' kits available that don't look anywhere near as detailed Hope you do well with them Not sure on the maths... I added the following to a basket to see whether doing a 313 is in my price range: 2 driving ends 3 corridor ends (need 4 but as noted the pantograph end is not yet available) 6 sides (two would be wrong as the 313 panto sides not yet available) 2 driving car roofs (again panto roof not yet available) With the one week sale that came to £163.87. Adding the required corridor end, extra roof plus floors, under frame detail and before getting to paint, pantograph, motor, interior etc etc, looking at well over £200 I'm not complaining, just making sure that nobody thinks £140 will get you a three car set!

Cheers, as I said it was a top of my head calculation' Still £200+ is fairly decent when you think that another kit manufacturer is offering the ex MTK 508 kit for £240 sans power unit and bogies etc (although i think it's on sale at the moment) Would a Bachmann class 150 drive and dummy chassis be suitable I wonder?

The best way to power it is a new style Hornby motor, as used on the class 153/156. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Seems that these are no longer available as the ebay user now shows as no longer registered? a shame if so as I was part way through getting parts for a 508 and 5WES. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
