Do any of the 00 models on the market use the same bogie as fitted to
the Warwell Wagon?

if I am looking at the same wagon you're referring to, then not many as far
as I know. They appear more like our US HO variants

you're referring to.

I think a diamond-frame bogie, of the type pictured, is available from
Ratio- certainly, their bogie open used to have them. Though an American
design, they were used by both the LNER and LMS on bogie bolsters and
similar types.

The Diamond frame bogie is the older (WW2?) version. The current wagons
have a different bogie as shown at

Sorry, Ian, I thought that was the type you meant, as it was the one shown
in the photo. You could have a look at the Genesis Models site, as they now
make both original and rebuilt type Warwells (the current day Warwells are
simply rebogied WW2 ones).

The bogies are Gloucester GPS 22.5, I believe.

Hi Brian,
That's why I was asking actually! I've built 3 of the Genesis Warwells
(my second attempt at wagon building) and whilst I'm satisfied with the
look the running leaves something to be desired - hence the search for a
R-T-R bogie to replace my attempt.

Ian,
Try the fold-up etched brass inner frames available from either Hurst Models
or A1/M G Sharp- I've found these ideal for rectifying running problems with
both cast and plastic bogies. Good luck.
