I test fitted the bogie to the frame. I don't have the new middle axle yet to see if the drive shaft have enough room
I think I start to make the a-frames front end attachment next. I going to use a ball joint there so that the bogie and axles can move freely.

This is a nice build you have started. All the work is top-notch, just like your other builds. I enjoy watching how you design the parts and then machine all the pieces. Great work!!

That's true Pip.
I just got the the new middle axle and it really is a bypass axle

The new middle axle does the trick, there's plenty of clearance around the drive shaft now

Thanks buddy , I've seen your work and I can say the same for you

I got the axle cross stays attached to the frame.
The frame is still missing the sheeting that covers the frame rails and where all the brackets will attach.
