Fantastic result Kim - the springs and trucks looks amassing If I had walked and started commenting on the result I would have say that the boogies looks great, but you call them trucks - is this a country specific name ?

Interesting observation. Yeah, I've heard of bogies before. I was into Lego trains for many years (I am an Adult Fan of Lego (AFOL, if you will)) and since Lego is based out of Europe, the parts to make the truck were always called bogies. I never understood it, but used the term. I had to look this up. And of course, Wiki has the answer:From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogie"A bogie in the UK, or a railroad truck, wheel truck, or simply truck in North America, is a structure underneath a railway vehicle (wagon, coach or locomotive) to which axles (and, hence, wheels) are attached through bearings. In Indian English, bogie may also refer to an entire railway carriage.[4] In South Africa, the term bogie is often alternatively used to refer to a freight or goods wagon (shortened from bogie wagon)."So, yes, you're right. It's one of those differences caused by the Atlantic ocean apparently - bogie vs truck.I learn something every day on this forum!Kim
