Hornby 08

[cheesysmith]

I am looking for a Hornby 08, the new version before anybody says anything. Am wishing to make a tinsley 13 shunter and have a model of 08 402 which has the correct boxes for the slave unit of 1 and 3, with only one exshauster box. Just need to kow if Hornby have made a model with 2 exshauster boxes, short bonnet doors straping, no aircommpresor box, with 4 marker lights?

 

Of course, if they have done one in blue, even better, just to save a repaint.

Hi Cheesysmith, I recently did a Cl.13 conversion in BR green using Hornby 08s, see 'Tinsley Twin' thread in modifying & detailing RTR (still don't know how to do a link!). Hornby may have done a version with 2 exhauster boxes & plain doors, however I couldn't be certain. I cut a box from an old Lima 09 body for mine. If you can find one in blue it may have the correct sheet metal doors as well. Maybe someone else knows for definite? Hope the project goes well cheers Phil.. try www.rtmodels.co.uk (courtesy of Halfwit after I'd made mine!) for cast buffer beams it could save a lot of work (and I know!).
