Popular Post andyman7 Posted April 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2021 I know Heljan have just announced this model (which is therefore probably a couple of years off) but my itinerant modelling of heritage BR DMUs using mainly Triang/Hornby, Lima, MTK bits continues apace. I have a box of bits to make some 104s but this version popped up on ebay recently in EM gauge. It's a classic Hornby 110 conversion but with the external window frame beading removed so really quite nicely done. It needed regauging to 00 but I overhauled the mechanism and replaced the additional pickups so that it runs much better on the original Ringfield motor. It came as a 'power twin' but I wanted the classic 2 car DMBS-DTC formation so a spare centre car chassis has been used on the trailing car. I need to add the first class stripe and renumber the DTC but it's already looking good - total cost under £65 plus a rummage through my spares. 19 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I've got several spare bodies and chassis from those. Got them many years ago at an exhibition when Hornby were having a clear-out. I used a pair to make a Gloucester (I think) DMU using MTK ends. Another one that appeared on the MRC's New Annington layout in the 1980s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
