Model Forum / General / Railroads / December 2008Bogies for Hornby Pullmans
In a box of miscellaneous stuff donated to the club I found a Hornby Pullman ("Ruth"). Previous owner had attached 4-wheel passenger trucks and KD couplers. Doesn't look quite right. ;-) Can anyone recommend bogies that are correct or nearly so for this carriage? And source? Thanks.

Doesn't look quite right. ;-) Can't help you with this, but I did wonder if anyone makes a worthwhile blue pullman kit for the not-terribly-proto4 inclined - I am quite content with most RTRs as long as they will accept DCC.

I don't actually *know* but my memory is of 4 wheel trucks. These people might know http://www.southernelectric.org.uk/preservation/preservationpull.html that page has a reference to Ruth.

I just know that Hornby have said that they are going to make produce some 6-wheel Pullmans next year. Fred X >> <snip> >>>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > produce > some 6-wheel Pullmans next year. Your point being what, exactly? Try reading what I said moron, don't just reply to what you think was said - or what ever your latest ignorant rant is...

Wow, you really have anger issues don't you? But I think we already knew that from your previous rants and attitude filled posts. It's time you got a repeat prescription from your GP methinks. Fred X <snip trolling> Nothing left to reply to! BTW, at least I don't have a split personality complex, like you do "Fred"...

They are US prototype trucks, so wheel base is too short, and wheels are too small. They do have RP25 flanges, which is why previous owner replaced the Hornby bogies with those strange things that Hornby believed were wheels. > I don't actually *know* but my memory is of 4 wheel trucks.

Yeah, well, I want some correct bogies, and RP25 wheels. Thanks for the URLs. Helpful.

From memory 'Ruth' was one of the shortie Pullman coaches originally tooled by Tri-ang. I bears no real resemblence to any coach which ran on British metals, and consequently run it on what you like. The original coach would have had 4-wheel bogies. John. >> In a box of miscellaneous stuff donated to the club I found a Hornby >> Pullman ("Ruth").

I thought perhaps someone makes correct 4-wheel bogies for the Pullmans, and if not too expensive, I wouldn't mind using them. Ah well, no matter. I have some trucks with a longer wheel base, which should look a lot better. Will run it under the Christmas tree, since that's a fantasy railway, and anything goes. ;-) Thanks.
