Zombiehunter2_0 Trains Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 I wanted more small-sized wheels for my narrow gauge engines, and set 40518 had plenty. I got 2 sets like everyone else did, but I wanted to take some wheels without ruining the set. So, I decided to make it had duplex bogies (where one bogie goes on 2 cars at once), like the Fench TGV, or the Dutch Eurostar for example. I used ball joints usually used for trailers, and I think it turned out pretty nice. It's not perfect, especially on the undercarriage, but it's okay for now. (Sorry for bad picture quality I used my computer camera and it sucks) Also forgive me for using road, my narrow gauge track is only 64 studs long This is the whole trainset. This is just the bogie. This is a real life duplex bogie. Tell me your thoughts below. Quote
