David asks: Hi Phil, I recently came across your article about fitting a tenshodo power bogie to a NE railcar. I built one years ago but it would be vastly improved with a Tenshodo power bogie. Can you please tell me which version you used, wheelbase and wheel diameter?
Digging back through my articles, I see that to my shame, I didn't specify this on the page.
Fortunately, the railcar is within reach in my office, and a quick look with a ruler shows the wheelbase to be about 28mm. Looking online, this suggests a 28.7mm wheelbase SPUD, fitted with the standard 10.5mm diameter wheels.
Supplies of these useful units aren't great now, although I hear rumours this may improve. Another bit og Google action shows that Locos'n'stuff may be able to help with a replacement.
Good luck.
