At least I know something is available even if it's a last resort. I have 5 only pairs of Phoenix Dean 8ft 6in bogies available at £8 per pair. They would normally be £8.50 but they lack pin point bearings which are usually included and which you would have to supply yourself. They comprise an etched brass truck plus cast side frames, bolster and rubbing plate. ChrisKT (chriskthomas@waitrose.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted December 19, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Some afternoon delight in the shape of Manor class 7814 Fringford Manor, kindly on loan from @46444 of this parish and looking splendid waiting to take the Santa Special west. Here's hoping for some better light to do a proper photo shoot for you. Edited December 21, 2022 by gwrrob Spelling 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
