I struggle to see the 1/2mm gap anyway.<br /><br />I've not tried the free running beyond flicking them with my finger, but there is a quite a difference.<br /><br />The tape around the drill is a good idea. I'm only using a han drill so things don't get too out of hand.Motorised Dandruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415901398887030249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308436923321175757.post-13687930201181234802009-07-26T23:07:51.100+12:002009-07-26T23:07:51.100+12:00To avoid 'drilling through to China', appl...To avoid 'drilling through to China', apply some stick tape, (preferably coloured so as easy to see) on your drill at the desired maximum depth. Then drill until the edge of the tape.sxytrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114744981981315705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308436923321175757.post-80019537461796864892009-07-26T22:02:54.284+12:002009-07-26T22:02:54.284+12:00Would a better focussed pix #2 be possible please?...Would a better focussed pix #2 be possible please?<br /><br />Have you been able to establish the degree slope/gradient these bogeys will freely run on with and without the brass bearings?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308436923321175757.post-76676067371988484922009-07-26T18:04:32.944+12:002009-07-26T18:04:32.944+12:00I've got an old set of lost wax bogies that we...I've got an old set of lost wax bogies that were KATO ripoffs and they run very nicely. The plain bearings are towable (ie they do run but won't freewheel on there own. maybe theres a trick to it I don't know that involves soldering). However I've seen very free running wagons pogo-ing around while being pushed in a very unprototypical fashion. And at least the wagons won't roll off the edge of the world if you are not paying attention.<br /><br />Rainbows are indeed back by popular demand.Motorised Dandruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415901398887030249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308436923321175757.post-5852540900729665522009-07-26T17:16:14.204+12:002009-07-26T17:16:14.204+12:00From experience, the bogies aren't flash runne...From experience, the bogies aren't flash runners. A change to brass construction, or add bearings as MD has done would solve the problem. At 3 quid for a packet of 50 bearings you couldn't go wrong, apart fromthe over-zealous drilling problem.ECMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918998333056482564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3308436923321175757.post-55159529765807729712009-07-26T16:43:07.340+12:002009-07-26T16:43:07.340+12:00Dangerous, you're getting close to the Dynamic...Dangerous, you're getting close to the Dynamics of modelling in 3/16th!<br /><br />How bad/good are the trackgang bogeys/axleboxes etc, without the brass bearers?<br /><br />Rainbows back by popular demand?laloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755164495910714317noreply@blogger.com
