rogerdee Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Can someone tell me if the bogies are the same as the powered version. Have they got all the gears in them as I need to replace a powered version bogie. Thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Downendian Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2022 Dapol spares at DCC supplies may supply the errant bits- I’m unfamiliar with the mechanics of Dapol’s hymek but a range are available from chassis block, clips and side frames. The generic spares may also be a good place to look too. I can’t see any spare gear sets unfortunately. Service is superb (satisfied customer for their OO bits). https://www.dccsupplies.com/product-category/Dapol-spares/n-gauge-spares/n-gauge-diesel-spares/class-35-hymek-n-gauge/ Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdee Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Thx I have looked on their pages but they don't have what I want. The gears on the bogie are okay it's just the bogie doesn't sit properly in the chassis mount. I know it's the bogie because when lifted off the track it dangles down,where as the other even when swapped ends up still sits perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Izzy Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2022 Have you stripped it down yet? I ask because I had one to repair a few years back now as the mazak chassis had cracked apart so nothing meshed. This might be the problem you have. The design means the chassis is very thin in places. I got a dummy thinking I could just swop bits over only to discover it had a simple plastic chassis rather than a mazak one. So in the finish I had to bodge repair the original. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Higgs Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If it's the chassis block you will be in luck as DCC Supplies have those available at 12.00 a set. They used to have the bogies too but not any more apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdee Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 I have striped it down and the only problem is the one bogie it just doesn't seem to fit right.I have swapped the bogies to opposite ends and the same bogie plays up either end. It looks to me that this one is a few tho shorter around what I would call the collet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Izzy Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 24, 2022 I’m afraid I can’t remember if the bogies in the dummy were the same as in a powered chassis. I have a feeling they were, but missing most of the gears as they aren’t needed. Not sure if there were any current collection bits either, I think not.

rogerdee Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 So I got a dummy hymek pretty cheap all I needed to do was change the gears from the old bogie to the dummy one and now my powered hymek works as it should. When I compared the old an new bogies the original powered one seemed to be shorter on the gear tower neck and the two originals when compared didn't match. Anyway now I have a powered Hymek that works 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
