1:24 Scale Powered Bogie Set

I have in mind a project to create a **monster** based on the *Maisto* die cast model *Ford Mustang*. I will mount it on some railway bogies. The *Maisto* model scale is 1:24. I used this scale and the *Standard Rail gauge* to set the size of the bogies. At this scale the standard gauge track is 60mm between the inside edges of the rails. I still have a way to go on that particular project but I felt the bogie set alone would be a useful model for others. The overall dimensions of a single bogie are; 85mm wide, 80mm long, and 25mm high. The details were designed based on a large number of powered bogies for railcars, and diesel locomotives. I wanted to create a bogie set that looked plausible. I was also keen for the arrangement to give the impression of being an electrical drive. The models here include the *Blender* model. I created it in Blender 2.58 and so you will find there are no problems with using this model in any of the 2.5+ versions of Blender. Extra things you will need are; * some Ø4mm rod of some sort. * An M4 nut and bolt. For the axles I use wooden dowel, but anything will do. The axle lengths are about 78mm long. There are also two small stubs of 10-12mm long. I designed in a hinging arrangement of the arms connecting the sub-frame to the axles. This means some distortion in printing the side panels can be tolerated when assembling. You may prefer to ignore the small dowel stubs and hinge arrangement. The nut needs to be installed in the top cross spar early in the assembly. I would suggest gluing it into the socket. No support is required. There are some break-off bits on a couple of the motor components. The filenames include the number of times you will need to print of each bit.

At heart and by training I am a mechanical engineer. I am fascinated by things that move and do stuff. For this reason I play around with making all kinds of mechanical constructions for amusement. I have a metal lathe, and metal working tools for ...
