Wagon Bogies

All these are sold in pairs – 2 bogies for one wagon.

Alan Gibson or Romford wheels with 26mm axles are recommended. Avoid "RTR" wheels such as Hornby or Bachmann as these may be larger than the kit is designed for – fitting couplings could be difficult; the axle length may also be shorter.

BOGIE WHEELBASE: C38 Y25 bogies are approx. 23·75mm wheelbase (1·8m) and C39 FBT6 bogies which are 26mm (2·0m). All the other bogies are 22mm wheelbase (5' 6" / 1·65m).

The bogies listed (except for C39) are "one-piece" sideframes and stretcher, with separate axlebox fronts.
They all require wheels and bearings – fit these into the frames and you will have a free-running bogie in a couple of minutes. The bogies are attached to the bolster with a 3mm screw and nut.

It is our policy that items will only be shown as in stock if we physically have the designated number of bagged kits or items to dispatch immediately. Continued high demand from our exhibition traders means that we are not holding as much 4mm stock as we would like. However out of stock items are available to pre-order. We are moulding new items every day and will prioritise production of pre-ordered items so that they will normally be available for dispatch within 3 days with the rest of your order. If your want to delay payment in these circumstances until you are sure that the items are ready then please use the Purchase Order option in the Checkout and we will send you an email link for payment when they are ready. We also accept orders for spare parts or part kits. Please use the contact form to make your enquiry about these or any other matters.
