Hornby Class 50 Spare Parts 3D print model

The Hornby Class 50 is one of the best models Hornby produces and detailing is of a high standard on this model. Unfortunately, items do get damaged or broken on this class of loco.

I had a Class 50 with broken Compressor detailing on the underframe and missing Buffer Steps. Getting spares was near impossible so I decided to design some spares people can download and print.

These are not 100% accurate but are good representations like Hornby has produced. The compressors on the model can easily be broken if you accidentally touch this area when you pick up the model, I have created a version of this as is and another with a rear support to make it a little more robust. You will need to remove the body from the chassis and glue the replacement in place.

The Buffer Steps are a fragile item on this model and can easily be broken or lost. I have created a version very similar to the original but slightly stronger for when printed with resin. There are locating pins available but a dab of glue wouldn't go amiss. (If you have broken sprung buffers I would recommend you replace them with Accursascale Class 37 Oval Sprung buffers which are identical to the Class 50's)

These designs have been designed to be printed on a resin 3d printer. The examples in the photos have been printed on an AnyCubic Photon M3 Resin 3D printer.

The main resins I use for printing can be found with my affiliated links below.I use AnyCubic Water Washable Resin for most of my items but use AnyCubic ABS Like Resin for anything that needs to be stronger and tougher.
