Small Ben's bogie

I made some new n/s side frames for my Small Ben’s front Bogie which allowed me to solder on guard irons, for which the kit made no provision. I drilled and opened out the axle holes into which I fitted brass axle bushes inside out, then I trimmed them almost flush where they protruded on the outside. I bought a pair of LGM white-metal bogie side frames which I glued in place, they really make the bogie look the business. The bogie frame spacer was adjusted so that when the w/m sides were in place the complete assembly measured 26.5mm across the springs, which matches the loco frame width.
