To finish off, here's the bogie being fitted to the D stock train in the shed. It's quite a simple job after disconnecting the power supply and shock absorber on the train - place the crane arms on the undercarriage on both sides of the carriage, raise the train, slide the bogey underneath, lower the train until you have a perfect fit, and insert some wooden discs which prevent wear and tear (for a while) to the bogey. Easy, if you know how! View taken looking west-southwest. The Pannier Tank engine is just outside behind me.
