Locoworks - Bagnall 2-8-2 (wip part 6) - stopping Tender wobble ....

The running tests showed up a serious case of 'tender wobble', it rocked from side to side as it ran (especially after going round bends).

Inspection showed the mounts for the bogey wheel sets were on a smallish pivot; the bogey's being metal tended to rock as they hadn't sufficient surface to rotate on.


I managed to find some pieces of suitable plastic to make good wide pivot for the underside and levelled up the top of the bogeys.
 bogey's re-attached....

A quick run test on the garage layout - no wobble - another thing off the snag list.
