Well time drags in my modelling efforts at the moment and yet another month goes by, with things going on around me it is hard to concentrate on modelling, however I thought I would settle down to a little on this rainy Sunday afternoon and set myself the task of re-wheeling my GraFar Class 60 loco so that I have one 2mmFS loco to test out my soldered point-work.

 

This has proved to be a little frustrating once I had got the body off and split the chassis as you can see from the picture above. I have now ground to a halt and have been looking around the t'interwebthingy and don't seem to be able to find any pics, advice or movies on how to get the wheel-sets out wihout doing major damage to the bogies. It seems as there are a couple of tabs at the bogie ends but the assembly seems so bonded I can't seem to release these parts.

 

I think I may also have run into a problem of not having enough geared wheel-sets to. So another order needs to go in to shop3! :)

In the mean time I guess I will have to look for other projects, time to get the soldering iron out again.

The frames just clip off using those tabs at the ends. You may need a small flat screwdriver to assist if the fit is tight but usually a finger nail will do the job! The plastic is reasonably flexible too.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks Tom indeed it did! Usual screw loose between chair and loco ;) But the conversions I have are too small, I need the 7.5mm ones Baaaa.. oh well<br>

You didn't need to rip the loco apart. The bogies just unclip from the chassis block, deliberately so for ease of removal - it's a feature of all new Bachfar diesels..........
