Does anyone know of someone who produces 3D printed parts for the Class 47 'Elephant Trunks'  sockets that go on the cab ends between the light lenses ?

 

 

 

TIA

I’d be keen to know of a source as the fitting looks similar to the jumpers on Class 40 bogies either side under the nose ends. I’ve tried making them and also filing the overscale Bachmann parts down but not achieved the level of perfection I would like.

 

I haven’t yet explored getting them printed though. Hmmm….

This item was included in the detail parts supplied with the original Heljan Class 47 (the 'fat' one). Since these sprues were also issued with the Western Class 52 there must be a lot of spares out there.......I used a pair on the bufferbeams of my dark green Heljan 'Falcon', which only sported a small air control pipe under each buffer and a train air brake pipe which was only applicable to the BR blue version......
