I'm slowly getting nearer to finishing this rake. Manage to get the undersides sprayed up last week before the snow got too bad to get the car out of the garage, but they all need another coat to paint the insides and a couple of bits of touching up to the sides.

Still aiming to have at least one finished for the weekend.

I have also finally got the first pair of bogies built, without proper spacers these really are proving to be something of a pain to get square. The last thing I can think of trying is modifying a set of the Hurst Models Y33 spacer (the bogies look quite similar, but need to check if the wheelbase is the same first!) Otherwise I think it will have to be put on hold until an etch is drawn up.

Have attached a photo showing the one pair of finished bogies fitted to the wagon below.
