SANDITE unit 930 006   

This kit is our first departmental unit. The prototype was one of several converted in the mid-1970s from class 405 (4-Sub) motor coaches, on to which were grafted EPB-type cabs, motor generators, EP brake gear, new control jumpers, waist level brake pipes, and a gangway between the vehicles. Additional pick-up shoes were added, doors and windows blanked off, and the interior gutted to make room for the necessary tanks etc. These units are still in use, though their life is expected to be coming to an end shortly

Our kit features pre-formed 1-piece etched brass body shells, underframes, bogie centres, whitemetal ends, underframe fittings, bogie sides and roof vents, together with etched door furniture, rainstrips, steps, footboards, and drivers’ side window frames.
