Bulleidnutter Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I hope someone can help with this. I am after 6 Hornby maunsell bogies to fit underneath some Kirk maunsells. Does anywhere sell/ offer them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 If you find out let me know! I contacted Hornby and the usual Hornby spares people to be told its unlikely you'll get them on their own. But we can live in hope. I just chop one Hornby coach into two and use the leftovers. Mind you I would be tempted to use the whole underframe under a Kirk but then again why bother as there is only one type [open third] not available from the Hornby range. I use the Ratio ones and have replaced Kirk bogies with these a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted November 8, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well i wrote a reply almost identical to the one above and then managed to loose it in posting! In essence the cut down version is: Hornby Maunsell bogies: - not available separately. Bachmann Bulleid bogies - available in packs of 2 for about ??4 (Bulleid didn't change the Maunsell design) but these are not as detailed as the Hornby ones. The best option must be to use the whole Hornby underframe / bogies moulding and splice the kirk body onto it. This will give a much better result than the standard Kirk parts (and the bogie centres would be correct). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I used the Bachmann ones. Mind you once Hornby announced that they were doing Maunsell coaches, I didn't finish them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
