burgundy Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Bill I used a LongRider to power the tender of a Jenny Lind single. The overall wheel base just happened to coincide and all I needed to do was to add an additional centre axle. This caused some imbalance in the suspension but nonetheless, it has provided a very effective drive train. I am sure that it would even work on a diesel - but I am not sure that my choice of wheels would help! Best wishes Eric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 08221 Posted April 13, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hi. I have just purchased a couple of Highlevel LoRiders for my DMU's. Any advice on which wheels to use ('OO' gauge) and any construction tips would be greatly welcomed! Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
benachie Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Pretty well any 12mm disc wheels will do the job. Coach wheels will need the pinpoints filed back or use the 2mm rod supplied in the kits. (Class 21/29 needs spoked wheels.) The kits go together very nicely but the intermediate gear shafts have a lot of small bits on them that readily disappear into space - washer, two minute bearings, gear - so you need good eyesight, illuminated magnifier, no handshake, tweezers and patience! The finished bogies whether long- or lo-rider are excellent. The instructions are first rate - just read them through first several times and then follow them carefully..
