The bogies in question are the ex-Polish ones which I previously scratch built to run under our oil tanker 66, which I’m using as a guide.
These bogies have a very distinctive short wheelbase and a semi-circular frame at the front.
Last time I fabricated them entirely from styrene but this time I think it might be a better idea to try to cast them from resin as one piece to give it more strength.
I’ll use the technique I adopt with the brass-framed bogies of having the axle box and suspension detail as a secondary casting to glue the sides afterwards.
The first attempt at a master for the frame is ready to create a mould, and we’ll see if the concept works.
