Screws for Bogies (I use 1.4mm wood screws / Marklin track screws) 2mm Drill to gently clean out the axle holes Hornby 12.6mm wheels spokes or solid disc 0.5mm brass wire Couplers of choice (Hook, Kadee or Sprat & Winkle) Gap Filling Super Glue (Zap a Gap) Notes: Print 2 sets of walls (Had to print at a 45-degree angle to fit on my print bed, this goes for the roof and floor) The end walls go on the inside Print the floor without support (With support if you want to block the square buffer holes) Lightly sand glue contact surfaces Gently drill out 2mm holes in bogie frames before fitting ROMFORD bearings and springs The final product will depend on the quality of the printer and how you have your settings under control Supplied as is, no support and no promises I recommend using a 0.3mm Nozzle for better detail and 0.1 or 0.08mm layering Please leave a comment if you build one!
