NEM Bulleid bogie, Conversion pockets
These have been trialed for a number of months and they have been successful.
This isn't a perfect solution but it is easy enough to for most with some experience of modifying stock.
This pocket is again 3D printed, in black resin, and is designed to fit a Bulleid bogie. I have fitted these to a Bachmann's Bulleid older and slightly newer bogies and also the Queen Mary bogie brake.
- Instructions -
"A small channel is to be made in the bogie beam where the old coupling is.
So the pocket again has to remain at a certain height for tension locks or Kadee's. The NEM pocket has a U shaped channels either side the bottom of the channel meets the underside of the end beam of the bogie. The old coupling must be removed.
A square section measuring 3mm high and 5.75mm wide must be removed from the middle of the beam to allow the NEM pocket to be fitted.
Recommend a Dremel disc cutter and needle files, taking 10-15mins per bogie.
I would recommend you keep checking throughout. The U Shaped channel wraps around the bottom of the beam of the bogie, and also keeps it at the correct height. Once tested and happy, the pocket can be glued in place.
The beam it attaches to max thickness is 1.8mm, this is what the U shaped channel will accept."
