A Bonus Surprise!

When I converted the Parkside Dundas gondola to American style archbar trucks, I had the original UK style bogies left over. I noticed that the bogies were very similar to the chassis for the 4-wheel AHM and Egger-Bahn cars. See the picture below, with the bogie on the left and the AHM chassis on the right:

I decided to see what I could do with the bogies to get a couple of bonus cars from the kit. Andreas Schoenfeld provided me with some Bemo couplers, and here is the result:

Coupled to AHM chassis Two different versions of Bemo couplers, the nearer one with home made loops.
