[Converting the Heljan Class 128 single parcels unit to P4]

Very useful Cap'n, will aid my EM conversion (also using Branchlines wheels).

 

One minor detailing point - the sandboxes weren't universally fitted to 128s - based on photographic evidence I think they were only fitted to a couple of the late surviving WR batch. Haven't found a pic of a green one from either batch with them, nor any LM ones in blue.

 

Definite sandboxes

55993 1975 (gone by 1987)

55994 1975 (gone by 1986)

 

I'll do a bit more digging and see what I can uncover.

 

Edit - Green 55991 and possibly others in green in the mid-late 1960s (with and without yellow gangway covers), so quite possibly from new or an early mod to the WR batch.

Indeed! I have the H0 ones, but the set-up looks very much the same. Will have a play.

Oh, very useful. I have a pack of the same Auhagen ones and was wondering how to make them operational.

 

Cheers chap!
