Derby, DMU’s and Roaring Forties

9th May

This weekend we are at the Derby show with four new releases in the Laserglaze range. We have recently added three of the popular DMU’s which we are asked for.

EELG4025 Hornby Railroad/Lima 121 ‘Bubble Car’

EELG4023 Lima Class 117 DMU Power/Trailer Car
(one vehicle) Price Code K

EELG4024 Lima Class 117 DMU Centre Car
(one vehicle) Price Code K

EELG4025 Hornby Railroad / Lima Class 121 Rail Car
(one vehicle) Price Code K

Each pack has sufficient glazing for one vehicle, based upon the original releases. The Class 117 DMU was released with brake compartments in both vehicles and the packs reflect that, rather than a corrected trailer car. The Class 121 Rail Car has been tooled specifically for the original Lima moulding which is now in the Hornby range. If you’ve done a cut and shut using the 117 unit then order 117 unit kits as the glazing apertures are different dimensions.

EEFG4001 Hornby RailRoad / Lima Class 40

Some customers have been giving the old Lima Class 40 (now Hornby Railroad) a makeover and swapping it onto Bachmann Chassis’. This can give a pleasing result as can a full makeover of the Railroad or Lima model by itself. To help those modellers we’ve added a laserglaze kit to the range which covers the side cab and body windows.
EEFG4001 Hornby/Lima Class 40 Cab/Body Side Windows
Price Code K

We have decided not to do the cab front windscreens for this model as they are of such poor shape, however an easy conversion for the front windows can be achieved using our class 37 standard window pack EEFG37-12a which are shown on the image above.

Come and see us this weekend, we have news soon of further releases in the heritage range of coach glazing, we look forward to seeing you there!
