3D Printed Maintenance Loco No 5 gets more wheels!

Having thought about a way of attaching a bogie to the Kato chassis last night I really did not come up with a plan so it was a case of sitting at the bench and trying a few things and this is what I came up with!

Basically a plastic plate that fits to the chassis with a plastic card tongue. The bogie is fastened to the plate with a screw and a home made spring wound from some brass wire gives some suspension to it.

Whilst this is very much a work in progress and the plate requires shaping and detailing the overall look is right I think.

What's more, even in this temporary mode it does run on the layout which pleasantly amazed me!

With the concept proved it is time for me to move on to finishing this which should result in a wheely great model!
