OO9 Model Railway Wagon Chassis Parts

These are parts I designed to upgrade Nine Lines (N-Drive Productions) Welshpool and Llanfair wagon kits from pinpoint bearings to roller bearings. They are also applicable to custom designs for OO9 wagons.

Solebar and axleboxes are provides for the W&L Cattle Vans, Goods Vans, Guards Van, Sheep Wagon, Open Wagon and Private Owner Wagon.

Wagon bases with coupler mounts for Greenwich Couplers are also provided for all of these wagon types or use the bases provided within the Nine Lines kits if you are using Bemo style couplings.

8mm wheels of various designs are provided including one version with larger flanges. These are a push fit onto 1mm steel axles.

To complete the W&L wagons you will need.. 

Nine Lines W&L Kits from N-Drive Productions or design and print your own bodies to suit.

681 or 681ZZ 1 x 3 x 1 roller bearings

1mm diameter x 16mm steel pins for the short wagons

1mm diameter x 18mm steel pins for the long wagons

Greenwich couplers if you are going to use the wagon bases.

The originals were printed on a Bambulab A1 Mini as follows..

0.2mm nozzle

0.1 mm layer

Standard Supports enabled

PETG-HF filament, flow calibrated.

The bearings are a push fit into the axle boxes. Apply a small dot of CA glue to the axle box face close to the bearing. Drag the glue towards the bearing and it will wick into the bearing edge locking it in place. Ensure that you do not use too much glue or get it into the bearing itself.

The wheels are a push fit onto the 1mm axles. Use the wheel spacer provide to establish the back to back spacing. Spin the wheels a couple of times on the axles while the wheel spacer is in place to remove any wobble that you might have. Once you are happy that the wheels are centred on the axles apply a small drop of CA glue on the inside of the wheel to lock the axle in place.
