4mm scale LNER Clayton railcar bogie - any suggestions please?

[MarkC]

I'm trying to find a suitable bogie for my Clayton railcar, but as yet haven't had any success.

 

It's quite short - 7' wheelbase - but shortening sideframes holds no fears.

 

Suggestions appreciated.

 

Cheers

Mark

Have a look at these from Dart Castings.

Cheers, Rex. It's the sideframes that are the issue though - nothing in the Dart range leaps out as even close to what I am looking for.

Looking on the lner.info web page the trailing bogie looks similar to the Sentinel one. Nucast did a kit for one years ago but I don't know if anyone re-released it. If they did you might be able to obtain sideframe castings from them.

Ooh, now there's a thought. Nucast Partners have re-released the kit. I'll drop them a line & see what might be done.
