Cradley Bridge Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hi Folks, Anybody know if there are any other suppliers of spares for Heljan other than Howes? I’m particularly interested in replacement wheel sets for some other older diesels namely class 47s & 33s. Thanks In advance Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Never heard of any other source of Heljan spares, Howes are the appointed UK agents. Next port of call probably Ultrascale. https://ultrascale.uk/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIK Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hi, If the gears are ok but the wheel tyres are corroded / poorly conducting (all my early Class 33s were) you might be able to take the wheels off and fit coach disc wheels. Regards Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I have used both Bachmann and Hornby coach wheels but they do drop the loco height slightly so not suitable for a loco that you are going to fit a snowplough to. John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
