Diesel and Electric Loco Detailing 4mm

[Lee-H]

Does anyone supply 4mm scale sockets like those on the front end of the Class 17 Clayton I saw on the Severn Valley Railway, please? I could use several sets for detailing a few different models but have not found any suppliers. To clarify, I’m referring to the orange sockets angled downwards. Thanks.

Why not try designing something for 3d printing? You wouldn't necessarily need to print them yourself, although once you can design stuff, you may find it is a useful method to consistently make other components.

I saw an advert for Bachmann spares in one of this month's magazines, they may have something suitable.

There might be something suitable in this which could be modified

Given Heljan make a class 17, worth checking their spares?

Thanks. I’ve already tried them but it seems they’re out of stock of this item.

When Heljan spares were available from Howes of Oxford, spares were easy to get. 

Gaugemaster have made it difficult.  So I don't bother with them. 

I would make the parts as someone said earlier and use them as a pattern to have them 3D printed or resin cast.
