Hi Ian,

Do I read it right that GRAModels sell the bogies as a separate item? I may have need for a couple of pairs in the future for a semi scratch build.

Keep watching for some turnbuckles arriving at a restaurant near you soon.

Cheers Ian,
That's good to know when I get that far

I have 4 different diamond frame bogie kits, basic 3 part kit needs a lot of work, ABS sprung/articulated I will build them some time, Gramodels & MMP, so far Gramodels for a quick articulated set gets my thumbs up, but I enjoy MMP kits, for price MMP & Gramodels are about the best & cheapest.

Thanks again Ian, it was the LNER version that I was interested in at the moment but I am sure that I can make room for some MMP examples at some point
