RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 19, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) On Saturday, I saw 47828 along with 47614, on the return working from Scarborough to Potters Bar Statesman Rails excursion. I was really taken by how good it looks and thought about modelling it. I was wondering if anyone does the orange MU socket that’s on the former head code box in OO scale?

retbsignalman Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm pretty sure Hurst Models made/make them. I used Craftsman (remember them?) Class 31 multiple working sockets, which were almost identical. Good luck! Graeme Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I used a pair to detail the bufferbeams of my Heljan dark green Falcon. However the lack of locating lugs on the moulding concerned me so I drilled and glued in a piece of staple (any stiff wire would do) for a more robust attachment. Also worth mentioning that the Heljan Western used the same detailing kit as the Class 47 - if these MU sockets were of limited use on the latter they were of no use whatsoever on Westerns, so lots of spares out there......!
