Cheers, Stephen __________________________________________ Comment posted by onslaught832 on Mon Jul 13, 2009 6:17 pm Hi http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_wave.gif , One of the first O gauge projects when I returned to modelling was my rake of Lima MK1's which I widened , fitted 'Three Cee' sides to & fitted door furniture, roof vents etc. These were OK at the time but TBH they looked a bit lacking at the side of the MK11's which I built on this thread a while ago, so off & on ,I have been upgrading them over the last few months. One thing that really stood out was the Lima bogies which bear little or no resemblance to anything that a BR MK1 ever had under it (see below) http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=89634 So armed with 8 spare bogies from the MK11 project I have now started to re- bogie them with the Triang B4 bogies , which should make them look a lot better. First job was to remove Triangs attempt at break shoes, I then melted bearings in to the axle boxes ready to accept 'HOG' & 'Easy-Build' wheels. The axle ends had to be shortened to fit the bogies, once this was done I cut the outer cross members to get the wheels in (& glued the crossmembers back together once the wheels were in ). This results in a reasonable looking bogie, but unfortunately they sat far too low on the MK1's, so some sort of packing was needed to raise the height of the coaches, I had a pile of the original Triang course scale plastic wheels which would otherwise be binned , so I hit upon the idea of using these, I snipped the wheels off the axles & snipped the axle ends off the other side of the wheels (the last part makes it easier to drill the centres , Once I had drilled the centres I ended up with bogie bearers which not only raised the coaches to the correct height & worked perfectly , they actually looked quite good too http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif . So I have now painted & weathered them & they are ready to bolt on to the MK1's. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=89632 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=89628 ] The rest of the Mk1's will be running on 'Easy-Build ' Commonwealth bogies, more of which later........... Cheers Phill __________________________________________ Comment posted by onslaught832 on Mon Jul 13, 2009 7:32 pm A brief update, here are a couple of pics(sorry about the qaulity) of the first coach on it's bogies http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif , ( I think the left bogie is the wrong way round but hopefully you get the idea oops http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif ). http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=89685 http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/download/file.php?id=89684 Cheers Phill __________________________________________ Comment posted by lancer1027 on Mon Jul 13, 2009 9:03 pm Hi Phill, Nice work.
