| 7.00 - Wagon Suspension Systems |
| All the W-Iron, Universal and Broad Gauge frets provide
the parts to spring one 4 wheeled wagon. The RTR Sprung Subframe does
two 4 wheeled wagons. The following types are available: Pinpoint Sprung Subframe for RTR Wagons: These use the same stainless steel bearing carrier and leaf spring as used in the sprung W-Irons below. Careful fitting to RTR Wagons is required as the dimensions are a bit tight. The GIBSON waisted bearings are included with these units as these are the only bearings which work with these subframes. These are ONLY suitable for 3' 0" diameter wheels. Inside bearing (Universal & Broad Gauge Springing System): These have a bit more friction than the pinpoint bearing version and can be used to convert RTR wagons without the need to rout out the back of the acxlebox for the bearing. Guitar wire is provided for the springs. Please note that these are suitable for P4/S4 and EM standards ONLY. See Stephen Williams book "The 4mm Coach - Part 2" for a review of these units. I know this does not sound logical but they were used in the construction of six wheel coaches in the book. Pinpoint Type (Sprung W-Irons) Springing is by means of a stainless steel bearing carrier and leaf spring. Two heights of bearing carrier are available: normal springs for 3' 0" diameter wheels and high springs for 3' 6" diameter wheels. Pinpoint bearings are not included with these sprung W-Irons sets. Please specify clearly which springs are required when ordering. (Reviewed in MRJ 72 by Bob How, see illustrations here). Also reviewed in Railmodel Digest Nos.1 & 4. |
