unknown whitemetal bogie sides

[sir douglas]

hi,

 

ive got these bogie sides in a collection of bits from the estate of a late friend years ago, and would like to know what they were supposed to be for? i only know that they were mdae by him as he did various castings and the masters are still with them in the packet, i havent got any clues about scale or era as he did various.

 

the wheelbase looks to be somewhere between 31mm and 31.5mm

Can you please photograph one, the other way up, and what is the measurement for the bolster? That's the part with the hole.

Putting it together gives 22mm between the bogie sides but regardless of this it could either be for OO, EM, or O16.5, i should retract the gauge part of my question, that was my fault, it completely slipped my mind that the bolster gives the gauge.. ish

Festiniog Railway coach bogies, of the type fitted to most corridor stock. 

O-16.5 scale, presumably.

sounds good, he did a lot of O16.5
