Product Description
Gloucester Fastfreight bogies (2 m wheelbase) for N-gauge or 2mm FS. Fixed rapido couplings one end, pocket for NEM the other, break off whichever you don't want. Designed to fit the UKF fertiliser van (PWA) I bought from Shapeways (designed by Rail 3D Prints) some time ago, and as long as I have got the dimensions right and the model has not been changed since, they should still fit. By filing down the top flat surface slightly, or raising it with a small washer or other shim, and/or enlarginging the central hole the bogies may fit other models. Painting suggestion - clean thoroughly, apply black ink and then weathering to taste. N-gauge wheels from Parkside Dundas or Peco should fit, or 2mmFS wheels on 14.8mm axles. Shorter axles, or drilling the inside of the axlebox locations, might allow the use of brass pinpoint bearing cups or similar for smoother running. This is now the second version and the first was good enough that I am making it available for sale. Cut off the coupling you don't need (NEM pocket or rigid rapido) to clear the underframe of the wagon. By the way, take a look at my model of the UKF fertiliser van underframe, which fits Rail 3D Prints' van body and works with these bogies. The same bogies were also used on the Flatrol MJJ flask wagon.
