   Hi all,

I’ve noticed a few queries lately on various bogie/truck designs and decided to make this thread to keep track of what people have done. Just post pictures of any bogie or truck designs you have that you think other people may be interested in. Please do post more 1

1 I’m looking at John Neal and Cale Leiphart in particular since I know you have yours already available ;)

Here is my freight truck design.



The side frame detail was borrowed from John Neal. In order to get better running performance I used a short piece of 1/8” brass tubing inserted through the 1x1 light clip plates to act as an axle bearing.

With some lubrication it rolls pretty good. It’s not a pure LEGO solution but it works well and looks good so I can live with it.

I’ve also been working recently on a more American style passenger truck.



This one uses the brass tubing as a bearing as well. Both these designs are intended for 8 wide cars,

Cale
