JaymzHatstand Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have managed to aquire a cheap Lima class 60, and am looking to update it to a more detailed standard. So far I have got some buffers and air horns, and am currently trying to get some bodyside grills. I was wondering if there are any kits to add engine room interior details, as once the grills are on, the doughnut will be rather empty! Mine is alo missing its windscreen wipers and the font snowplough, so I'll need to sort those out (I know A1 do various wipers, but sadly there weren't any at the York show) I'm not sure if scratchbuilding will work for the plough (well mainly if my skills are up to it!) or if there is an etched one available? Any advice will be gratefully recieved Thanks J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjl1973 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi Shawplan do or used to do, as well as the grills the main engine details in white metal, may be worth contacting Brian to see if he has any left Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymzHatstand Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 I've tried emailing, but the address given on the website just returns with a delivery failure notice. Is there a more up to date one that anyone knows of? Thanks J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick G Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Mine is alo missing its windscreen wipers and the font snowplough I have a couple of Lima 60 ploughs if you want them, is it the 'full' plough of the one with the notch in it so you can use tension lock couplings?

JaymzHatstand Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 That's very kind of you Holland Park, it' just the full plough I need, it already has the notched one I shall PM you with the details Thanks again J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Appleby models did a body interior set (whitemetal) for the Lima 60, it's long oop by now but you never know where one might turn up. I did have one here but can't find it. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother with any of the A1 parts for the sixty - they've had their day and are very crude compared with more modern offerings. I can't remember the issue numbers but Tim Shackleton's write of upgrading the Lima Class 60 in MRJ is excellent! The shawplan parts are very nice and well worth seeking out.

66540Ruby Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 With all due respect and IMHO, unless you are wanting a detailing project i.e. enjoy major detailing work, I wouldn't bother working on the Lima 60 when the excellent Hornby 60 can be had for as little as £40 s/h and £45-£50 new, if you look around. I picked up a s/h mint 60 and a new one with a slightly tatty box for £40 & £45 recently at an exhibition. Just a thought. Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've also got a Lima 60 and a collection of detailing parts that I will, one day, get round to adding together. I do have Hornby one too but the Lima one will be what I can call a fun 'modelling project'. steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
