SouthernBlue80s Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi I purchased 56013 from a member on here. And what a cracking model. I have just finished turning it into 56001. Pic here However somehow at some point a part of the jumper cable gubbins has fallen off the front (To be specific, as pointed out by tractor, one of the sockets is missing) See here Now I have found this for a 31...which perhaps I could hack about to get something appoximate http://www.petersspares.com/Hornby-x5326w-class-31-detail-pipes-coupling-pack-weathered.ir Not ideal Also it seems that Hornby do do some spares such as http://www.newmodellersshop.co.uk/images/hornby_spares/x9284.jpg Does anyone know if they do the class56 jumper cable gubbins as a spare set, and if so where is the best place to locate it Thanks Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get one of these, (which maybe Class 50 parts) just cut the cable off and fit the socket on it's own - it's not perfect but would look better than nothing..... http://www.newmodell...pares/x9284.jpg As an alternative, Shawplan does 4mm white metal MW sockets - that may also be an option.

SouthernBlue80s Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Thanks again Ken. That is really good of you, I have messaged you. I have quite a few Heljan 47 bits about (although never the bits I need) so if you ever do need anything let me know and I will have a rummage.

RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 17, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 17, 2016 It's a good question. I need quite a few MW sockets and cables to finish off some class 56s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 A bit late to this party (fashionable donchaknow) but in my time as Editor of the C56G's newsletter I've been the recipient of hundreds of Grid images. It isn't entirely unknown for a loco to lose a mw socket. I can only assume through carelessness parting multi coupled locomotives being one reason. It isn't common, but I have seen examples, if I find the relevant and can garner the permission of the photographer, I'll post here. I think the OP's 56 looks pretty cool without..! C6T.
