Title: Dapol Class 52 what's the spare bogie for ?
Post by: N_GaugeModeller on March 13, 2021, 01:17:42 PM
Hi all

Just picked up a new Dapol Class 52, and in the box is a complete spare bogie.

Anyone know what it's for.

It from their latest batch if that makes any difference.

Thanks

don't quote me on this, but i THINK its for if you are going to fit the from dam and details, to replace the front bogie with coupler and pocket.

To give you a choice of a coupling pocket or not on one end, if you want to have a fully detailed front end.

Sorry, I was just quoting Dapol's own website, I assumed they would have know what it was for...
