Hornby -ex LMS non corridor coaches

Postby PhilipT » Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:33 pm

These are Hornby R4689 and R4691. Does anyone know how to separate the body from the underframe? The usual 20 thou styrene between the bodyside and the solebar doesn't seem to work and there appear to be some tabs of glazing material in the extreme corners of the floor which don't respond to gentle leverage.

Sounds much the same as the Maunsells. Those tabs do squeeze together slightly but sometimes they get stuck with excess glue from the manufacturing process. I suspect you just have to be brave and be prepared to break one or two of them.

Thanks Rod, that is exactly the way. It takes quite a bit of force to separate them but faint heart never won, etc...
