Hi All,
I have been working on the 8 axle bearings for the bogies. There is a lot of repetitious work and Have tried as much as possible to get the 8 looking very similar to each other. I had to modify the tops of each bearing to give them all a flat so the compression spring support bar can sit directly on top of each bearing.
The compression spring base I turned out of pine and then filed the end spigot to snugly fit on the support bar. The springs are held in position with an aluminium centre that I turned up that sits inside the spring and inside the compression spring base. As I said there are lots of repeat items just trying to get the bogie correct. I will probably continue on the one bogie and complete that and then get onto the next one. I find it important to sketch up the components as I make them as it makes it easier to replicate them.
I have supported a couple of the leaf springs in their approximate position to see how they look.
This sort of leaves me knowing how I am bearing up as far as this build is concerned (there you are Trev - a double pun in the last line)
Regards
Keith

You know what happened with the last lot of puns, we got rapped over the knuckles when we lost track of the thread and ended up in a 1st class mess and were derailed
The person who never made a mistake never made anything

Thanks guys - better get back to the build. (but as said - love the puns)
Progressing on the bogie.
Should have some more photos this afternoon or tonight. I thought the D4 was quite intricate but the bogie detail is - to say the least "challenging". The biggest issue is getting all the replicated parts the same. Doing sketches and then photocopying them and gluing to the timber to get all the same multiple plans - maybe cheating - but still happy to progress that way.
Regards
Keith

Hi All,
I have been working on the other side of the bogie and now put together both sets of the compression springs. Removed the axles and machined them so there is now 2mm clearance between the wheels and each of the bearing blocks. I have made up the "angle iron" that spans the base between the bearings on each side. This was cut out of pine on the table saw. Very thin (in thew scale of things" but it won't have any load bearing on it). I have made up some mock "tracks" to put the bogie on so that I can get the assembly "square".
I drew up one of the bearing cover plates (wrong terminology - but don't know what to call it) and then made up 16 copies on my printer. Ten glued each onto a piece of 6mm MDF. I have cut out the 16 on the scroll saw. This is the amount to cover both the bogies. Heaps of interesting work to go just working on the bogies.
Regards
Keith

Keith, I could be wrong (as I do not have much to do with carriage bogies) but they look like 'Horn Guides'.
Have a look at this link, Workshop Updates at the section on Fox Bogie Progress, it might be of interest.
