Stunning!

Ray, thank you.


First test fitting of the bogies:






Suspension springs are provisionally printed parts. Journal boxes and goosenecks are wax plots and cast in nickle silver.




Due to poor quality there was a lot of rework involved with the castings: According to that 'scheduled' work of reaming bolt holes at the goosenecks and bearings at the journey boxes hardly mattered.

I mark the area at the reamer with an edding to achieve the necessary diameter. For the axle bearings I had to shorten a reamer to get the right diameter for the blind holes.




I decided to use cotter pins everywhere instead of imitations since I found out how to make them in a reasonable way.




Cheers
Volker
