For those who have Easybuild Mk.1s and wish to have some variety there is the option of changing the BR standard bogie for Commonwealth or B4 from the same supplier. We have two pairs of Easybuild CW bogie kits to make for some carriages to run in a rake for a "mid 1980s Scottish service" - those kits follow the same style as the kits for the BR Standard bogie and include the same bogie bolster moulding (which the instructions state has to be modified by removing the "headstocks").
Photographs of a prototype CW bogie show that the bogie has depressed headstocks - presumably to accomodate the brake pull-rod and / or the dynamo belt, as here:-
A simple question... who might have information or a drawing to allow construction of such headstocks to add to the Easybuild bogies? (so that I can model the brake blocks and corresponding hangers)
