I am in the process of building a driving truck for one of my engines. It is a single bogie that needs to pivot freely (the other end of the truck attaches to the locomotive, so it is a sort of "trailer".)
I have two roller bearings to reduce the friction of turning, but I am looking for a suitable bearing surface. In the past I have used Tufnol (or equivalent) as it is hard wearing and self lubricating, however searching through my scrap bin I can find none.
I am looking for two pieces, each approximately 50mm x 170mm by approx
12mm thick.Does anybody have any offcuts that they wish to exhange for drinking vouchers or other items of trade?
Cheers
Peter (Trowbridge)
