RMweb Premium Andy Keane Posted July 4, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Picture of bogie bolster? And the bogie bolster C was based on a GWR design I believe (the Macaw B). Edited July 4, 2022 by Andy Keane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As can be seen, a BOGIE BOLSTER C; in a thread entitled ' Ratio Bogie Bolster A Kits? Clearly, I am missing something! CJI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Keane Posted July 4, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ratio called them bogie bolster A’s but their kit is actually not quite right and so much debate earlier in thread about which bogie bolster they best represented. Also various comments on how to weather them so saw this one and thought it would interest people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The Ratio kit is a Macaw G and is based on a TVR prototype. There was no GWR diagram allocated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Prism Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It was 3mm too wide. Not sure about the length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Andy Keane Posted July 4, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2022 Working from photos of the TVR wagons I reckoned that the kits were about 8mm too short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Which makes them an ideal "special" vehicle for a branch line layout IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
