tpxpress Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hey I noticed earlier that my Heljan 47727 had a snapped cab window (Half in cab, half not, with some still in the frame) so now I need a place to get some new windows for it. Looking at the cab, it is the same window all the way round, but I may be wrong. Any help on where (Around Sheffield) and help on how to redo it appreciated (I'm not sure whether this thread is in the right place or not...)

Guest jim s-w Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Thomas Start here - http://www.howesmodels.co.uk/Railways/viewProducts.php?SubCatID=70 (first unsponsored hit in google if you search for Heljan spares - simples hu?) Heljan model most of their diesels with the drivers window open. Are you sure the one you have is broken? Cheers Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Have you tried looking on the forum? There have been plenty of threads on Heljan spares recently. Sounds like you need new glazing pieces - ring Howes, they should be able to help and advise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Downendian Posted April 29, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2011 Well James and Jim have between them answered the problem, have they not? Howes do the spares: http://www.howesmodels.co.uk/Railways/viewProduct.php?ProdID=316 Above is the specific link to the part you need As James states this is a very simple fix, several of my Heljan diesels have shed their windows, a dab of glue n glaze sorts it when replacing the errant window Alternately you could use glue n glaze to cover the entire aperture.

jonathan452 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Class 86 Spares Unfortunately I recently damaged the underframe of my Freightliner Class 86 when trying to get the body off. I have replaced the locomotive but as a longer term aspiration I was hoping to repair the damaged example (and upgrade with a new Dapol pantograph when released) for which I need the following spares-: 11086001F Class 86 sprue (black) (Heljan)1 x 32 underframe frame 1 x 35 compressor 1 x 36 compressor 1 x 37 lower bodyside conduit 1 x 39 underframe box part 1 1 x 40 underframe box part 2 2 x 41 underframe box part 3 1 x 42 handle 1 x 43 underframe box base However this item is currently sold out on the Howes Website. Can someone advise from previous experience if any more spares are likely to materialise. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Can someone advise from previous experience if any more spares are likely to materialise. I think they tend to come into stock in line with production runs of the models concerned - it might be worth ring Howes as they may be able to advise when they will get them in stock. You may even be able to reserve the parts you need. I've always found Howes to be very helpful indeed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickL2008 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 With the class 47 windows, they do literally just pop out, gently prise out with a fine screwdriver , to be honest, its really easy to do yourself Howes do all the spares for the Class 47, and as James has advised ring them or Email Howes to see if theyre still availiable NL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridwatcher Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh Christ you lot are clumsy...... Does anyone still need the odd 47 window or 86 bits? If so drop me a PM and I can oblige FOC!

James Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Ring Howes back! Maybe they're getting lots of calls as it's nearly Christmas? They've been excellent with me over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 James, I'm with you on that, they're a pretty much exemplary supplier - last time I needed some better info than the descriptions on the Heljan spares page, and talked it through with them whilst I had their site up on line. I do recall there's a particular sequence to loading your cart and progressing through to order placement that is maybe counter-intuitive, though. I reckon in the circumstances you're best off giving them a call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigherb Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just wish they would do their excellent screw coupling separately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Howes are excellent for spares with good response to any order - I recently got a brand new Class 23 - it arrived from Hattons minus three ladders and couple of brake servos?(If that is what they are) - Not wishing to send it back as I live in Canada - (although Hattons are excellent when it comes to returns) - since it would take forever to replace - I contacted Howes and for about six quid got the relevant bits on a sprue, (and the magic was that just days after the new release they had the necessary spares - which I have just got round to sticking on.

Removed a/c Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Does anyone have a spare #65 bogie support for my Class 86. Mine arrived damaged so I thought it would be cheaper to replace that part instead of sending back overseas to the UK. Cheers Scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
