DonB Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have a Dapol GWR 14XX purchased about 4/5 years ago on Ebay. apart from checking that it ran OK on a 2ft test track, it has been stored ever since, hopefully to interest Grandson in things GWR, post-Thomas interest. Looks like that hope is not to be realised, so I unwrapped it last week and took it down to the local club test track, where it ran beautifully! Good so far..... BUT.... I noticed as I first put it on the track that the Safety Valve cover was missing from the boiler top. A search has failed to find it. Dapol tell me that they sold the tools to Hornby "10 or 11years ago", and have no spares. Have asked Hornby, and await reply, but not expecting a miracle. Any ideas where I could get a replacement??

RMweb Premium Kris Posted February 2, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2, 2011 I assume that this is a 4mm model you are talking about here? If so try Mainly trains Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS239 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hornby part no. X8071 is a packet of 14xx body fittings that contains the safety valve bonnet. East Kent Models [01227 770777] have them listed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonB Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Gosh, that was quick! Thanks, to you both. If Hornby don't reply tomorrow, that's my first job on Friday sorted! Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
