0 Gauge PRMRP Lima BR&CW Type 3 Bogie conversion.


 I looked for some time on how to improve the bogie sides fitted to the Lima 0 gauge loco.

Whilst searching the web I found an entry by PRMRP a father and son company which produce various 0 gauge components.

One of these is an adapted, length wise, bogie frame which is a fit for the Lima bogie which, as I know, is too short.

This is how the castings arrived. A bit of cleaning up and the trailing bogie frame fitted following the simple instructions provided- these are also available on line.

The drilling of holes is a bit fiddly but achievable .

This is the completed trailing bogie (i.e. Non Powered) which simply fits over the adapted bogie frame.

The powered bogie has the complete Lima frame removed and the replacement is built up in situ as it seems logical.

So, just the powered bogie to complete and both will be ready for the paint shop.
