Hi All,
Lots of machining and turning (metal and wood) to make up the components for the bogie. Making up the components for both bogies at the one time. It is generally 8 lots of everything when making up the components for both bogies. The compression spring upper supports are made of pine and aluminium. The aluminium boss inside the spring is araldited to the top pine washer and pine support beam.
The hornplates inners and outers have been joined (with pine spacers 18mm wide) and these support the top bar along both sides of the bogie.
Think it is coming together OK.
Regards
Keith

Hi All,
Back to the real railway service workshops today. As promised 2 weeks ago - here are a couple of photos of the 4-8-0 that will be my next build after the railway carriage - it's a long way off but need to have plans for the future
PS - today was like being a first year apprentice again - cleaning and emptying bins and then sorting out taps and dies
Regards
Keith

I still remember being sent to the store and, in my turn, sending my apprentices to the store, to ask for;
- a long weight (= a long wait)
- a spare bubble for the spirit level
- a metric shifting spanner AND....
- a left handed metric shifting spanner
It's probably not politically correct anymore?
flettya rock is an obsolete tool ......... until you don’t have a hammer!

I bet there were not many metric taps or dies.
You may be lucky and be asked to obtain a key to open the smoke box door.
Once the bogies are finished you can start on the frame and undergear and draw gear. What type of coupling will you have? Have you thought about the brake gear?
Enjoy your time at the railway.

Hi Kevin,
Yes, the brake gear is not far down the pecking list of work to do. I have got a few good photos of the gear on the bogies up at Newport. The couplers will be the same as those I made on the 4-6-2. The ongoing work is very slow, but very enjoyable with new different challenges on how to get the correct look - and only on the bogies at this stage - a long task.
Regards
Keith
PS - surprisingly there were quite a few metric taps and dies to sort through - 2mm up to 20mm

Love the photos of the other real train Keith...
On the apprentice jobs you forgot the first tool of trade that a good apprentice had and learnt to use effectively - THE BROOM along with a bannister brush & scoop....
