I just brought (another) one of these cheap, but I didn't notice that it has one bogie different from the other. One is PIKO 37700-07 and the other is an LGB one.

Simon, did you find another bogie to replace your broken one?

I'm going to see if I can get some spares from Europe....
Hi, thanks, no, I have not got it sorted at the mo. I didn't go along myself, but it has been the garden railway show at Peterborough this weekend, I wondered if, maybe someone will have a damaged model and been able to replace it, with a better one, from one of the traders there and then perhaps, put the damaged one on ebay ? so I was planning to keep my eye out on there for a week or so and see if anything turns up that way.
There's the Coventry and Llangollen events coming up soon as well, so I expect I will be ok before too much longer ? or, if a complete model turns up cheaply, I was considering removing one bogie and then advertising the wagon, for spares and repairs, to people on the forum here

This weekend was the Midland Show near Coventry Simon. Mizzy Gizzy and I went to today.

Peterborough is next month.

I'd be interested in your spares and repairs should you go down that route....
