Carriage Compensation Units (CCUs)
These etched brass units provide a suspension system for bogie vehicles with the following characteristics:-
• Ability to compensate for changes in vertical track alignment and any degree of cant.
• Stability of vehicle body and bogies.
• Free running to allow scale length trains to be hauled.
They consist of an etched brass 'outside bearing' subframe which takes standard bearings and wheels (Gibson, Jackson, Maygib, Ultrascale), which are not included. Provision is made for mounting to the coach underframe by means of press studs (supplied) resulting in an easily detached fixing. Alex Jackson couplings can also be fitted. All that is required to finish are cosmetic bogie sideframes (any sideframes of the correct wheelbase will do, but they will need the rear face to be filed flat).
Price: £6.50
