And to complement those wonderful 3D printed and brass high detail hybrid kits, why would you use a low detail resin side frame when these lovely 3D printed bogie side frames available.
Well the answer may well be the price, but for those that say money is not object when it comes to model trains... Haha; these will be ready for purchase for $50 a pair (1 pair per loco).
I have just ordered 5 pairs direct from iMaterialise, they are in prime grey, they will need minimal cleaning up and take paint very well.
The model features highly detailed brake cylinders and arms, springs, and shocks, and bearings as well as off set brake shoes to be in line with the wheels (note there are tight tolerances between on the north yard wheels some slight sanding may be required in some cases).
The bogies have pre-drilled holes and should just screw on to your north yard bogies no problems (be careful not to over tighten it could fracture the resin).
Contact me soon in comments below to ensure you don't miss out on the first run. Expected delivery 12th January Meeting.
***Update***
