Upgraded Bogies: We now offer the option to upgrade any coach with bogies factory fitted with ball bearings. The upgrade cost per coach is £20 (taken once in stock), although they can be purchased as a standalone pair of bogies for £55.
To be taken to the upgraded bogies, search the store for either D24-A01 (8' 0" Heavy Bogies), D24-A02 (8' 6" Light Bogies) or D24-A03 (8' 6" Heavy Bogies).
You can then add to your basket your desired coach(es), alongside the bogies you would like to upgrade to.
Alternatively, you can just preorder your coach and add a note at the checkout requesting the model to be fitted with upgraded bogies.
