Detailing kit for Hornby King R3331

[Chris Dark]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if anyone could help with the following.

 

Somehow 1 of my Kings ended up falling off the shelf and landing on the floor (luckily carpet) even though it has snapped one of the drain cock pipes. this was glued in so think I will need to carefully drill it out. Also, more unusually I recently noticed one of the brake shoes has snapped off. No idea where it could be.

 

So firstly, can someone advise if this kit http://www.petersspares.com/Hornby-x6065-6000-class-acc-bag-king-locos.ir is the correct one for the Hornby King? I emailed Pete but he wasn't able to confirm because the R number isn’t on Hornby service sheets.

 

Secondly does anyone know where I could get a brake shoe from? I haven't got the loco in front of me now but I believe it forms part the chassis so imagine this is harder to put right.

 

Any advice or guidance is welcome.

 

Thanks

I think that's your best bet.

Probably easier to buy a complete chassis base plate with all the shoes on

Thanks for that.

 

This is my next project then
