Monobloc kit : Pullman 10ft Bogie

Well, having found the drawing, I couldn't resist!
Athough I have no immediate plans to print a Pullman car, here is the bogie fitted under all new cars from 1924 until 1951 (except the cars for the Southern Electric 5-BEL and 6-PUL units).

As with other monobloc bogies it is designed to run on internal bearings with simple equalisation and springing.

Being printed in black makes it difficult to photograph but attached show the test print : The bolster and axleboxes are separate files, attached after printing.
