Lima HST Pullman conversion kit

[Antony B]

Hi,

As the title eludes to, does anyone know is there is a conversion kit, or list of parts, to convert a bog standard Lima HST into the Midland Pullman?

 

Many thanks in advance.

In absence of other answers, I very much doubt it. Simply too different in design, such that the HST content of a reasonably accurate midland pullman would be a single digit percentage. Triang and Kitmaster BP items a better bet if wanting a basis for a DIY project.

Thanks for the response, but this conversion is not for the old 60's blue pullman, but to convert the Lima HST into the current LSL Midland Pullman.

You'd just need Nanking Blue and White paint, and a midland pullman transfer set, surely?

There are quite a few differences from the Lima HST to the Midland Pullman thats running around the network.

 

Lights and windows in the power cars and window configurations in the trailer cars

YT-1300, And that's what I'm wondering. If anyone does a conversion kit, or at least some of the parts to make this.

Track3D produce a few bits for HST’s. Not specifically for the Lima model but if you’re prepared to hack things about, I guess they could be made to work.
