MIR Bogie Flats

[gm171 kk]

My MIR bogie flats are bent up which causes some of the wheels to not even reach the rails and containers to not lie flats and tend to rotate on the wagon after a while. They are painted so I don't want to put them in boiled water and I have tried the hair dryer method but the resin returns to bent shape it was before I heated them once cooled. Does anyone have a solution to this as this problem is really doing my head in? Thanks.

My one was the same I clamped mine to a bit of wood and then gently heated it with the bosses hairdryer, I then left it to cool and its perfect now.

I was using elestic bands to hold a container on the wagons and then heated it. But I must have been heating it too much as the resin was becoming very soft and flexible and the bands were ruining the shape. I will try a more soft handed approach to heating it tonight.

I'd go with Riversuirs method, just clamp the frame well to a block of wood and you should be grand!
