Mickoo's BR modelling

When I built my pair of JLTRT Derbys, I thought it was a nonsense that you couldnt get the wheelsets out, so I drilled and pinned them:-



Obvs wont work with your model Mick - but in the future...

For some reason - I have a couple of right hand 25 frames if you need them...

Cheers
Tony

What a spiffingly good idea, I have another unbuilt 25 to do, a 26 and a brace of 47's so will explore that method on those

I'm alright for side frames at the moment.........but duly noted

Mick,
I did a similar trick on all the locos on Aberbig. A strap and pin bonded to the bogie outside casting; a 10BA screw attaches the strap to the top surface of the bogie inner. Two pins to locate the outside correctly. Photos if you want
