Wheels too wide for bogies - What to do?
ianmaccormac replied to BrakeCoach's topic in 3D Printing, Laser Cutting, CAD & CNC
I would take a look at any commercial bogies you have and try and work out how they have handled the same issue. Then adapt it to yours. -
Just don't get yourself tied up in knots!

This picture from the www shows a live steamer three and a half inch gauge. Looks like the axleboxes and compensating beams and spring arrangement is all fixed to the bogie with very limited clearances for going around a curve. How does it work? 3 1/2 inch gauge Caledonian Railway "Dunalastair" - Stock code 8336 (stationroadsteam.com) Cheers, Ian in Blackpool

Many thanks Rob! May be pulling some of your wonderful Billinton 6 wheel carriages soon, amongst other earlier ones! Cheers, Ian - well the G class maybe! -

Stick with doing it yourself. I started in March 2019. First goes here. The latest things I am doing are these: If you do little and often, it gradually gets to the point where you can add all the parts up and suddenly there is a whole loco there! Great fun. And then you get exactly what you want yourself! Cheers, Ian- 9 replies

Slaters do a 2'9" bogie wheel on a one eighth inch axle, see if you can just purchase the tyre?Roxey have 2'8" solid metal diesel wheels. Use Markits return crank system for 4mm or 7mm which should be able to be adapted - pictures on Roxey Mouldings web pages, etch body and chassis from NS using PPD to get everything on one etch with 3D printed boiler, roof, etc and get the slidebars and cylinders printed in one piece and cast using eg Scale Factor who will work with your stl files. Might you require a gearing system to drive the second wheel on the drive bogie for better traction? Cheers, Ian

Wagon Wheels - a beauty contest (and an annoucement)
ianmaccormac commented on magmouse's blog entry in Netherport - GWR 1908 7mm (mostly wagons for now!)
You don't seem to have considered Alan Gibson, Peartree or Roxey suppliers?? -
An interesting read! Cheers and good luck, Ian

Loconstuff has chassis that might also work for you. https://www.locosnstuff.com/ Have you seen them? Cheers, Ian just a satisfied customer. -
I bought some Mallard LBSCR Balloon carriage kits before 1972 from Ray Rippons in Southend which was when I moved from there to Uckfield. Good kits that made up and ran well. Cheers, Ian now in Blackpool

Can you explain further the info you want please? If it is the numbers carried in the garter of Stroudley vehicles, the registers are in Vol 1 of the LB&SCR Carriage book by White, Turner, Foulkes. Dapol have used these.

A you tube video of some more of the carriages. And the IEG on Waddon looks better than the first batch! Cheers, Ian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHcNALJRdn0

In the advert at the end of episode 1 there is something about pinning the hopes of a new generation on a victorian steam loco and it shows a LSWR B4 Normandy. What is that all about? I thought Dapol already made that loco in 4mm and just about to sell in 7mm. Is this a small TT loco? Wierd! Cheers, Ian - another 50p in a jar person who is up to £9.50 after this episode!
