Hi all,
Has anybody seen any N gauge models out there, or have an idea of how I can make an operating bogie/truck that does not have sideframes? (Every N gauge truck I've come across relies on the sideframes to hold the wheel and axle in place).
I'm trying to model some subway cars in N, and the prototype bogies do not have sideframes...I will try to find a photo of the trucks in question to clarify things.
I will need powered and unpowered bogies eventually...I was thinking of maybe adapting a doodlebug chasis for the powered car - does anybody know how long the prototype doodlebugs were?
