Michael Hodgson Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Doesn't look like there's much to choose between them. Brake rigging on the bogie of the EFE,but you can't see that unless the train derails! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium spamcan61 Posted June 3 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3 The bodyside ribbing on the EFE looks a bit finer (this could, be lighting mind you) and the bogies seem to have a bit more finesse generally (I'm not fussed about the brake rigging either) then there's the little square plates which don't appear on the Heljan model. Not a lot in it, but if I had to pick one it would be the EFE. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I went for the Heljan because it was slightly cheaper. I think it appeared slightly earlier too. I've still got a couple of kits that I need to finish, though they won't be as good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flood Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) The Heljan blue and grey version have the squares with a changeover lever. @spamcan61 Ah I remember now, they are only on one side. The Heljan maroon ones have them on the other side, as seen on the underneath view. Edited June 3 by Flood 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
