Dunalastair bogie

Quite a simple bit of construction here. The main part folds up with a couple of spacers across the end to strengthen things and retail the wheels.

The brakes are soldered to a separate spacer that fixes in the centre over the pivot. Finding these bits is slightly awkward as they are spread around the fret but the shapes are obvious enough for this to be a minor irritant - identifying the contents of a box of whitemetal components is far more taxing !
