RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted July 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2017 The trouble with the 31 is the later Lima refurb body and chassis moulding masquerading as an original plain green one. It doesn't have the buffer beam skirts. Not that I claim to be an expert on Lima body mouldings, but it still has the nose doors, they aren't plated over, so is it a refurbished body or curates egg? (That's without mentioning the exhaust ports and the side door vent!) Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not that I claim to be an expert on Lima body mouldings, but it still has the nose doors, they aren't plated over, so is it a refurbished body or curates egg? (That's without mentioning the exhaust ports and the side door vent!) Mike. Looks to me like an un-refurb body with original exhausts but the buffer beams, which are part of the chassis, are from the refurbished version. I don't think Hornby have ever produced the ex-Lima 30/31 with buffer beam cowls. They only seem to have tooled the revised chassis that takes their motor bogie without them.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted July 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looks like the early body, sitting on a later chassis. I'm pondering this one, I have a lot of refurbishment Lima 31's, and this could be an upgrade oppy, to dump the Hornby green body, Lima chassis and the sound chips (I'm more of a DC guy). I'd like to do the same with the 37, but I can't see any way that anyone on earth would want that body, let alone 12 of em if I did an upgrade.

I'm disposing of 25 Lima 47's chassis and a bunch of new Hornby RfD 47's bodies currently, those are doing well, the RfD 47 is a nice body, and nice paint job, so I'm quite happy with the result. I've now 25 lima bodies sharing 12 New Hornby chassis, happy bunny and after selling the chassis the net cost of buying all the donor RfD 47's is actually positive. I want to do the same with the 31/37 but as these are £10-15 higher than the 47, and the 37 is missing it's vital bits (headcode boxes), that could be a bit more of an expensive upgrade.

John Tomlinson Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This Bachmann Sale appears to be getting quite competitive. Whilst Hattons have the edge on the J11 at £62, Rails otherwise seem ahead on other items. A set of 5 different LMS porthole coaches in BR carmine & cream for £120 looks a great buy, unless anyone knows better about these models. John.
