It's just tacked together with superglue so I can check it out (and change bits). The wheel on the left is waiting for a rubber tyre and the one on the right has a printed tyre.

Alpha, if that's your "bid" to get a set of these, then MY bid is that "I promise NOT to do it up in pink!" -Mike

Early bogie (MkII) with rubber tyres.
Had a bit of trouble with the fake springs getting in the way of the wheels when they move up so after a bit of a redesign (and a paper clip) the springs now move out of the way (though not up and down). It's not perfect but without a major modification of the HL bogie springs it'll have to do.

Image

The wheels are a bit wider then the HL as the HL wheels are too narrow for the tracks.
