5138-type 4 EPB

£640.00 inc vat

4 EPB units operated on all three divisions of British Railways Southern Region. Units 5138-5260 and the subsequent 2-car units all had a rainstrip just above the doors and the grey paint of the roof was carried down to this level, giving these units a more conventional appearance and one that better matched the BR standard EPB fleets.

What's in the box -

This Eastleigh Model Rail 4 EPB kit gives you all the 4mm scale 3D printed parts you need to build a complete (unpowered) 4-car unit - sides, ends, roofs, interiors, underframes and bogies.
