Get motivated - take some photos and update the build thread.
I started the bogies a few weeks ago and soon discovered anomolies in the instructions - contacted Ivan Smith (Southwark Bridge Models) and over the course of a week, the anomolies were resolved, but they had the overall effect of putting me off any further progress. The design of the bogies is new to me, but Ivan says that it is quite common in 4mm - you build up two halves and the only thing that holds the completed halves together is the torsion rod - I have still to put the whitemetal sides on and then I can solder the rod at each end - this allows the 'bolster' to swivel up & down on the rod, but as far as I can see, does not allow the wheels to pivot on their axis - perhaps all will be revealed once the whole bogie is assembled. I would welcome comments on this please.
Hopefully will be doing some more later today.
cheers
Mike
