Mark, This looks really nice! Now I *have* to know how you did the bogies.
The Proto is 4-axled right? Your bogie design seems very inriguing. I also
like the use of the space radar dish as a grille. You’ve just showed me how
to do mine! I hadn’t thought of that. So that’s two new things from you. I
look forward to seeing more!

Yes, each bogie has 4 axles. On ine the middle two axles of each bogie are the
motor, with the others articulated. Each articulation uses a double wishbone
steering arm: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?PartID=32069 and this
right angle axle joiner: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?PartID=32184
with the axle joiner round hole in the middle of the double wishbone piece and
an axle through the holes. A 1x4 technic beam on the motor holds the axle
joiner with two axle pegs. A 1x2 2-hole beam on the articulated wheelset holds
the double wishbone piece.
As usual the motors are connected with a wire through the body of the loco.
See if you find any other ideas by browsing my Brickshelf :-)
I’ve posted pictures of 6 diesels, 7 steamers and the Pendolino. Still one
engine, a few wagons and some scenic items to post though!

The Class 28 and 50 diesels use a slightly different method of articulation, and
the 66 yet another! See if you can get this one to work though - it’s quite
reliable, though changes of slope have to be gentle. Some of the other methods
overcome that limitation.
