Tourist stock artics

[Mercator II]

Hi guys

I need a little help from those in knowledge please

The tourist stock twins, the centre bogies, where these 8'ft6" or 10ft?

Similarly, the centre bogies on the coronation twins?

Many thank in advance

Campling's drawing of Dia 171, Twin Open Thirds tourist stock shows a 8' 6" bogie.

I found some drawings of the Silver Jubilee stock which says that here the 8' 6" bogie was changed to a 10' 0" bogie in November 1937.

Thank you Peter

I'll go with 8'6" ones

Now to figure a way of making the 3D printed ones work as such, from Isinglass

Ask Andrew at Isinglass about the artic connectors he uses, he might well be able to sell a set or two.

In case anyone is tempted to buy from Marc Models I would recomend not to , the owner Mike Radford in 2018 had Dementia ordrers not arriving etc etc . No updates on the site either since then. Buyer beware, the site should have been closed then.

Shouldn't be any problem since Andy sells a 4mm kit for an Articulated Twin...

Hi Brian,

I've been building a pair in 7mm scale. The centre bogie was 8'6" Heavyweight and the outer bogies were 8'6" standard version.

Thanks Vernon

I have complied a list of what I need, and asked Andrew for a price

Had some interesting emails with regards couplings too

Once I have this festive season out the way, and I can get access to my work bench again, I will have a look at starting

Going to break myself back in first on a smaller project as it's been a while
