1:24 Scale Powered Bogie Set

I have in mind a project to create a **monster** based on the *Maisto* die cast model *Ford Mustang*. I will mount it on some railway bogies. The *Maisto* model scale is 1:24. I used this scale and the *Standard Rail* gauge to set the size of the bogies. At this scale the standard gauge track is 60mm between the inside edges of the rails. I still have a way to go on that particular project but I felt the bogie set alone would be a useful model for others. The overall dimensions of a single bogie are; 85mm wide, 80mm long, and 25mm high.

The details were designed based on a large number of powered bogies for railcars, and diesel locomotives. I wanted to create a bogie set that looked plausible. I was also keen for the arrangement to give the impression of being an electrical drive.

The models here include the *Blender* model. I created it in *Blender 2.58* and so you will find there are no problems with using this model in any of the 2.5+ versions of Blender.
