CC New Haven F3 bogie fell apart

keep us posted.....this is a popular set.

That happened to me, same set. You have two options. The first a Lionel service station can press them back on. The TrainDoctor in NJ or TrainTender Jim in Indiana can both do it. Option two, you can purchase the part from Lionel, its available, and just replace the frame yourself. It is a easy fix and maybe cheaper to do yourself.

Or, just use a little dab of epoxy.   Just make sure there's no oil ro grease on the mating surfaces.  That's what I did decades ago.

Would J B Weld work?

Just my opinion but, the J-B Kwick product would work much better, as it sets/cures MUCH faster (15 to 20 min.), while J-B Weld takes at least 12 hours.

Thanks Hotwater. Good to know.

Those are staked in place, and I just drilled them and put a small screw with a washer to hold them on.

John....same thing I did.....works great.....joe

Ahem...it's a "truck", not a "bogie".

Highway "trucks" have rubber-tired "bogies".

Lauren Bacall was married to "Bogie".

"Bogie" is the proper term.

But yes, the bogie is commonly referred to as a 'truck' in AAR terminology.

No, it is not. This is not the UK or Tasmania. They don't decide. This is North America. We don't write "organisation", either. Heck, even my spell check knows that "organisation" (and its brethren) is wrong.

It's also one stroke over par (and I should know)

I disagree.

So does General Motors and Progress Rail. Here is a relatively recent patent of theirs dating from 2003.

Quite clearly Progress Rail is calling the wheelset of a railway vehicles including locomotives a bogie. And yes, they also call it a truck, but all titles the term used is "bogie".

I stand by what I wrote, and that the OP was correct and well within bounds to use the term "bogie" in their title.

And you don't decide either. Your comment is rude. This forum can be picked up anywhere. Even if the OP is here in the States, Maybe the OP is from UK.  Just because this forum is based out of the states does not mean someone from elsewhere can't use terminology they are used to.

Bertie Higgins says "Bogie".

Thanks for the tips everyone! Not sure which route I will go in the repair yet. I will post the results when I get around to it.

For inquiring minds I am in the states, and have used both terms interchangeably as have many I have had discussions with over the years. You want to get into an argument over it? Start your own thread.

Pay them no mind.  Your use of Bogie is just fine.  I knew what you were talking about even before I looked at the picture.

Another repair possibility is to tap out the posts on the top of the side frame and screw in the side frame into place as shown in the diagram below.

Probably why I suggested it.

Yep, you did. I missed it. Sorry about that.
