41411	2-Hap units 5601-5636	tba
Constructed on the underframes from withdrawn 2-Nol units, these sets entered service in 1957-8, some time after the BR versions were built. Nonetheless, they featured Bulleid style windows, SR motor bogies, and 8' trailer bogies. They worked on all three divisions, mostly on semi-fast services. From 1976, units were downgraded to all second-class accommodation and re-classified 2-Sap, being withdrawn in the 1980s/90s. Kit includes formed etched brass body shells, motor coach floors and bogie centres, whitemetal ends, bogie sides and fittings, and etched rainstrips, footboards and door fittings.

4-EPB units 5001-5053

£175

These units were a development of the Bulleid ‘1946’ 4-Subs, and were introduced between 1951 and 1954. They worked across all three divisions of the suburban network, some refurbished units lasting until the 1990s.

This kit depicts the first units as introduced, and includes Eastern section 9’ wheelbase motor bogies (as provided at construction), additional jumpers on driving ends, and both short and full-length rainstrips. Includes two 8-bay motor brake seconds, and two 10-bay / compartment trailer seconds. Units ran in this form until the motor bogies were replaced in the late 1950s.

Kits are a similar specification to our 4-Sub, namely formed aluminium body shells and trailer coach floors, formed etched brass motor coach floors, truss-rod frames, and bogie centres, whitemetal ends, bogie sides and (though we say it ourselves) excellently detailed underframe fittings, formed milled brass truss-rods, and etched rainstrips, footboards, door fittings, and assorted jigs and templates.

Kit requires on 36mm wheelbase Black Beetle with 14mm wheels, trailing wheels, pinpoint bearings, paints, adhesives etc.

2-EPB units 5651-5684

£90

These followed 2-Haps 5601-36 off the production line in 1958/9, again featuring SR underframes and Bulleid style windows. They were initially intended as replacements for the 2-Nols on the Waterloo-Weybridge/Windsor services, but could occasionally be seen elsewhere. From the mid-1970s they became more dispersed, with some units being refurbished from 1982. The last units were withdrawn in the 1990s. Kit includes formed aluminium body shells and trailer coach floors, formed etched motor coach floors and bogie centres, whitemetal ends, bogie sides and fittings, and etched rainstrips, footboards and door fittings, together with assorted jigs, templates and drawings. .
