7mm SR EMU hose and cable castings

[Steph Dale]

Evenin' all,

I've had a bit of a splurge and got one of the Radley Models SR electric locos, as per the top and third photos on this page: http://www.semgonline.com/electric/class70_2.html

The mouldings appear to have all the front end connections moulded in. They don't look too bad (apart from the lack of the high-level brake pipes), but I still think replacements may be in order.

Can anyone give me a pointer as to where I can find the various hoses and cables I need?

Cheers,

Steph

Mix & match MMP's range of brass castings, I have used these for my 33/1 Lima conversion. they are finer than the cast white metal ones supplied by others, may be worth contacting DP of this parish.

Steph,

I got these from Roxey Mouldings I believe, not sure what they list.

Ooh! Really looking forward to this build. Mind you, I prefer 20001 and 20002. However, beggars can't be choosers.

D'you want my photo of 20003 at Eastleigh?........

They bring back memories Col. A case of being faithful to the prototype, actually converting some kits of the steam hauled stock.

Couldn't have done it on my own mate.

'ere 'tis.



23rd May 1965. Looks like there's some bodywork mods going on at the cab.

Interesting pic, Dad,

It shows the loco undergoing the conversion from headcode discs and m/u gear to an indicator box and removal of the m/u gear. The latter was never used; the differences in electrical equipment to CC1/2 was enough that it couldn't be used...
