(...) I have to say, this looks pretty slick, I bet it looks fantastic in action. Clever work of the floating assembly of the fixed valve gear to drive wheels, I know that space is WAY tight! well done :) You really need some side hand rails along (...)

The hard part was making it small and sturdy. The end result works, (...) (16 years ago, 15-Nov-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(URL) Hi all, When looking at some of (URL) Swoofty>'s excellent bogie designs I realised that studless technic could be a great way to create smaller and more 'realistic' bogies than regular system bricks.
