This is a 3D printed item, using a fine ABS like resin.
The 1st photo is of an example of the parts as you will receive them (you receive parts to complete two bogies). The remaining photos show an assembled example to show off the detail, complete with wheels (not supplied) and detailed photos of the individual parts. These are genuine photos and not digital representations.
You will receive two sets of parts to complete two GER / LNER 8' wheelbase bogies... enough to complete one coach, complete with central pivot:
- Centre bogie frame (x2)
- Left and right hand bogies sidreframes (2 of each) [note that the chamfered end of the step board faces the centre of the coach]
- Bogie pivot (x2)
To complete the bogies requires two 5mm lengths of brass rod for each pivot. Locating holes are provided in the sideframes that locate into the centre bogie frame. NEM pockets are also provided (if required) and a flat section to add pickups for lighting (DCC concepts DCF-WP12 wiper pickups). The bearing holes are 2mm diameter.
If required, brake rods can be fashioned from 1mm brass rod and located into the back of the brake pads (holes have been included for this). Also, a length of 0.45mm brass rod can be used to tie the W irons together (see last photo). A hole is provided in the base of the W irons for this, but will need to be opened up with a 0.5mm drill beforehand.
Bear in mind the size of these items when looking at the detail in the photos.
Please ask if you have any questions.
