For my scratch build and kit bash projects I'm always looking for powered boogies. Sometimes you can buy them from LGB but I think these are over expensive.
So I focus on beat up trains as these can be had quite cheap.
Stains - alike trains have a 75 mm wheelbase with 37,5 mm (??) wheels but most of the time do not qualify for bogie use as the wheels are too big and also is the wheelbase.
HLW Interurban Truck 63,5 mm wheelbase with 29,3 mm wheels.
US trains, for example 84 mm wheelbase with 28,5 mm wheels.
Other options of RTR boogies are found from
* Swift Sixteen (Ready to Run Power Bogie | Mysite) -> Check also Builders Parts | Mysite
* Pico, USA Trains and Hartland (random online source: g-bits.co.uk 45mm Gauge Diesel Drive Chassis Units)
What is the wheelbase and wheel diameter of the LGB 90770 'Rusty' Saddle tank and friends locomotive? (answer: 30,5 mm)
And the LGB 21761 Spremberger (whooo typo on the lookout here!!!)?
And if you need wheel diameter from about 25 mm, what route to go? (as found on the Feldbahn locomotives, 24,5 mm)
