theblack5 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi, I got my 00 Heljan class 33 out of the box last night for the first time in ages only to find that the destination blind glass had fallen out and is now missing.. is this something that can be replaced easily? if so do Heljan keep them in stock or is it a case of pleading on the net trying to find one?! Any ideas much appreciated!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas much appreciated!! I think the Shawplan Extreme Etching Laserglaze kit includes the destination blind glass. Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the OP had. I assume the centre window is narrower but given all the changes to 33s Heljan have made, who knows!

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted January 19, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 19, 2017 I believe the headcode panel on all variants of the class 33 is the same width in reality and therefore should be on the models. It is only the overall body width which is slimmer on the 33/2s and this query does not concern the different grille details. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heljan have, however, messed around with the face of the loco quite a bit from the first release. I wouldn't like to guarantee they are the same in model form.

Butler Henderson Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Take care with them as no spares are provided or seemingly available ; one for my 04 broke as testing its fit and despite being advised to request a replacement nothing has ever turned up.
