garethashenden Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I feel like this is a pretty simple question, but I can’t find the answer. What are the wheelbases of the bogies used on 2Bils? I think the inner ones are 8’ steam bogies, but I can’t find anything about the power bogies. Does anyone know? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 8’9” is the wheelbase, this being the LSWR dimension which seems to have been used on all new suburban motor bogies - and the Bils were on suburban underframes - until the late ‘30s.

mike hughes Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yes definitely 8' 9" for the power and other pick-up bogie and the inners are 8' Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasatcopthorne Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Yep. 8' 9" under the outer ends. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
