Parkside PA125 OO Diamond Frame Bogies (pair) with Spoked Wheels
I bought these bogies in the hope that I could use them on Tri-ang Transcontinental freight cars. In some respects they're ideal. the diamond frame is about the right size for OO scale. However, the molding tool is obviously becoming worn and it's not possible to assemble them accurately in accordance with the instructions. I ended up with one that was twisted and all four wheels wouldn't sit on the track at the same time. The other was pinched at one end and the wheelset won't rotate freely. Also, there is no indication of how one is supposed to attach the bogies to the vehicle. It's difficult to recommend them as is. Experienced modelers may be able to modify/fix them to work satisfactorily
