B1 Springbok bogie springs.

[baxterwood]

Hi everyone,

Don't know if anyone can help.

Does anyone know what is the specification (length/diameter/SWG etc.) of the bogie springs for the Martin Evans 'Springbok' B1, I thought I had all the drawings but checked and I have them all but the one covering the bogie details - sods law!

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Model Engineer 17 March 1960, page 328.

All he shows is 'Side Control spring, 18 Gauge, 13/64" bore' (if you're lucky!).

The actual bogie springs are 22 Gauge, 9/64" bore.

Hope this helps
