We can offer a choice of two types of locomotive hornblock for use with chassis built on the Flexichas principle as devised by Mike Sharman. For further details of this method of construction we recommend Mike Sharman's book on the subject.
Both our designs (for a 6 coupled chassis) feature a bespoke brass square bearing positively located by the hornguide and no thin brass edge to wear away as in some other Flexichas based designs. They will fit any standard chassis hornblock cutout 6mm wide and 4mm above the normal axle centre line.
Option two - Basic
These are a more basic version than 4001/4002. By omitting the prototype detailing a smaller design has resulted which is also easier to assemble and considerably cheaper. The fixed axle can only be removed from the chassis by removing a wheel, and the square bearings use an alternative method of retention.
