D&S Parker GC coach bogies

Post by Woodcock29 »

I'm in the process of building a pair of D&S Parker coach bogies to replace the too high whitemetal bogies on a Perseverence GC Brake 3rd.

I'm struggling to comprehend the instructions for the bogies in relation to the centre stretcher and mock transverse spring arrangement - it seems to me that the height of the main stretcher is incorrect and there is no mention in the instructions of folding it up to shorten it. How the transverse spring is meant to be folded up and constructed is also a mystery.

Any tips /comments would be most appreciated.
