Railbob Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Can I suggest at least two bottles of Merlot or wine of your choice and twenty minutes later everything should be looking correct 😂😂😂 On the other hand could it be that the chassis is twisted or has come loose?Railbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Are the axles correctly located in their boxes and the bogies in the underframe? Has the underframe been pushed up in to the body on one side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelton Junction Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 All appears in place. The wheels scrape on curves (previously noted on these pages) and it’s slow running on the straight. I can’t see anything obviously causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 The ends of the axles are absolutely most definitely not located properly. I had some Tillig wagons like this, just pop the axle out and reassemble carefully.RailBob… lovely offer… I do like a nice Merlot … 😁Edit…. The above is utter nonsense caused by the offer of RailBob’s Merlot! other pics below help too. Can you pop the bogie out? They are a push fit.

ntpntpntp Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I would have said axles pushed out of their pinpoint bearings is the obvious culprit, however they look ok in the photo. Therefore this seems more to do with the bogie pivot. The body is leaning relative to the bogie. Broken pivot pin perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelton Junction Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 There is more vertical movement on one side of the bogies than the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railbob Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Skelton, Could the bogie locating pin be out of alignment or bent? In your photos it looks like the coach has been lifted off the bogie and if the locating pin is not correct then that could explain the lopsided situation.Railbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
