Hello all,
so, some time ago I bought an almost complete LNER Coronation set, in oo gauge, I think it's Ian Kirk or mailcoach. Beautiful model, but it's missing one key part, basically one of the articulated bogies has gone astray, it was missing when I bought it. At the time I thought I could simply replace it with a Hornby or Bachmann replacement. My questions comes in many parts I guess:
1. are the articulated bogies the same length as standard bogies (i.e. 8'6" centres) or were they longer?
2. if the answer to 1 is "the same length", can I use Hornby Gresley or Bachmann Thompson bogies? I've also seem isinglass do (or did) a 3D printed articulated set, so I could probably see if I cna source a spare from them
Thanks in advance for all or any help. Keep modelling!
Steve
