c2c Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 After much time spent surfing the web trying to find detailed drawings & pictures etc of the Schlieren bogie pictured below I have now practically hit a brick wall ! So I'm really hoping that someone here can help me. Close up pictures of its construction is what I am after especially the underside. Also information of anyone knowing of a depot in the South East or neighbouring counties that has rolling stock on its sidings which have these bogies. Although pretty much that is out there on the web I have seen scouring google images etc, but any kind of information connected to the Schlieren you feel would be helpful to me will be really appreciated.

Dave Dear Anonymous I would much prefer you to link to my photos than post them on here.

jonhall Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If you can't see it in photos who cares? These bogies always struck me as being particularly dull, even for wagon bogies... Jon 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Hi Jon You are an absolute star. Those pictures are so far without any doubt the best I have seen taken of these bogies. and will be an asset to my project. Thank you for posting them.

Mike Storey Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Only just come across this thread, so apologies if this info is too late. Schlierens were also used under Sheerness Steel POA, later JXA 102t scrap metal bogie wagons. You used to be able to see these in quantity at Queenborough, Sheerness and Hoo Junction, but no longer alas. They are still in use elsewhere however, but now owned by VTG I believe, but you will need to track them down. I need to model these for the Sheerness layout I am planning, and have so far tracked down cast bogies from S-Kits, which are fairly simple to make (I have four pairs of them waiting to be built up), but I have just discovered that the Colin Craig versions have been transferred to a company called Stenson. On their web site you can download the instructions, which give you a good idea of the construction. These are much more complex to build but are sprung! see http://www.stensonmodels.co.uk/product/bogie-schlieren-m25-cc15b/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
