Slater's 7mm Axle & Bearing Dimensions

[Bob Reid]

Does anyone have a note or the details of the Axle & Bearing dimensions for Slater's 7mm scale carriage / wagon axles? Specifically I'm after the dimensions / angles of the pinpoint and it's matching bearing interface as I can mic' the rest. I did ask Slater's some time back via there website but didn't at that time get a response.

Hi Bob,

Measure the length of pin point along the axle centre-line and then use school boy maths to get the inclusive angle? Not sure if the angle of the axle pin point is the same as the angle of the coning inside the bearing.

Interesting question... why do you ask?

regards, Graham

Thanks Graham. Over the holidays I've been working on an etched under frame for a 7mm BR CCT and I'm at the stage where I need to add the Axleguards / axle boxes. As you say I've already measured up the Slaters axle and bushes which should be sufficient however I was hopeful that someone would have the "spec" sizes to compare them with.
