For sale! Pair of 10¼ Gauge Cromar White bogies

Posted on 1 January 2020 by highwire

As previously advertised a pair of 10¼ Gauge Cromar White bogies.

Originally used under a Severn Lamb coach, wheels are wide but profiled to 9.5/8″ Back to Back dimensions. One wheel on each axle is loose and rotates smoothly in an oilite bush (very clever) but could easily be made fixed using a steel bush in its place. At the same time the bogies could be made into powered bogies or regauged to 7¼” easily enough.

Major dimensions are:- Length – 600mm
Overall width – 400mm over bearings, 475mm over de-railing bars (could be cut down) Overall Height – 210mm
Wheelbase – 400mm Height to bolster – 175mm
Bolster Pin Dia – 21mm
Wheel Dia – 150mm x 40mm
Axle Dia – 35mm Bearings – 25mm Take Up Bearings with die springs.

Collection from Eastleigh but could Pallet at cost. £600 ovno
Phone or message 07974 928014‬.
