Eccles90 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi All, has anybody had any experience modifying a Bachmann class 24 by fitting a headcode box to the roof, essentially similar to the class 25? The late members of the class had the headcode boxes and typically the one I wish to model would be one of these examples. Cheers in advance, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo675 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi Eccles, How times change, back in the day my dealings with class 24's involved hacking the head code boxes off Hornby 25's. Good luck all the same. Gibbo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) There will be a headcode fitted 24 brought to the market soon, wouldnt it be easier to buy one of them rather than fit the headcode box, remove the discs etc?

Like a bus, there will be two headcode fitted 24s coming along soon - depends if you want Scottish or English variants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would but who wants to do anything the easy way? I already have a loco, chances are I would have to renumber it anyway to suit what I want to do. Cheers all!

Norton961 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Regarding the Brassmasters headcode boxes if you check the Brassmasters web site they have re introduced them after a gap of a year or two. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton961 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Apologies, it’s the various resin fuel tanks from Brassmasters that have been re introduced not the headcode boxes. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
