5" gauge bogies - NON KIT

Modern Coach / DMU Centre Car

Up until now we have not offered our bogies as kits due to the amount of preparation and fine fettling required to get them working correctly. Over filing could lead to the bogies not performing as well as they could on tight radius corners (less than 10')

In moving the springs further apart, the new design allows for easier preparation and assembly which even if over fettled will still provide unparallelled performance.

To build these bogies you will need basic hand tools including a 3mm drill bit, 10mm spanners and a small file. Wheel sets are supplied pre pressed complete with bearings to axle ends.

 

Supplied with a 6mm cross plate for easy bolting to your new chassis.

Cross bar dimensions

This unique design allows full wheel contact when both loaded and unloaded.

Sealed ball race bearings give a maintenence free running.

Wheels are machined from 3.5" blanks to our own wheel profile.
