murphaph Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Ace. I love the faint traces of rust on the sleepers where the chairs would have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post popeye Posted October 27, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Shapeways 42ft 3d printed 42ft flat wagons. I got these about 2 years ago and finally got them finished. They are very nicely printed and I used Bachmann bogies and Railtec transfers. 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yes they are Bachmann bogies. There is a small round stub that fits into the middle of the bogie and then use a small screw and washer to keep it in place. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shrives Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Hi Thanks, sorry for confusion - got IRM bogies in my tiny mind! I too used Bachmann bogies on my prints as well. Must say I fitted the nem pocket on to a plasticard extension glued to the bogie and thinned the bottom of buffer beam. Your solution elegant so will store it away for next time. cheers Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
