With the engine was a rather nice  little tender\/driving truck, plus this great big thing which had been lobbed  outside in the garden where it had gently gone all rusty. I was most intrigued  as, you may remember, I had a very similar wagon in some time ago, obviously by  the same constructor. In some distant part of the grey matter, I remembered  loading the other wagon into my car one day along with a rather nice 5 inch  gauge \"Dolgoch\" - also from the Talyllyn. Adding two and two together  I promptly came up with five - it was obvious that some model engineer had built  a train of narrow gauge bogie wagons and, in all likelihood, the entire Talyllyn  fleet of locomotives. With great excitement (having travelled the Talyllyn many  times as a boy) I called the chap that \"Dolgoch\" came from and, rather  breathlessly, asked if the builder had constructed all the Talyllyn engines and  dozens of bogie wagons...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSadly, Dolgoch's builder built that one and no others. The bogie  wagon, it turned out, had come from me in the first place. Whoops. I'm sure I  forget more these days.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSo, this is from the same stable as the wagon which went to John  a couple of years ago, then came back when he went 7 1\/4 inch (then the Hunslet  he took for that project came back when he went 2 foot gauge, but that's getting  ahead of ourselves). It needs some TLC but is not in serious trouble - it really  needs showing a wire brush and some new paint. It runs very freely indeed and  although the axleboxes look exactly like a conventional gunmetal box, I'm  convinced there are bearings lurking withing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019200418133,"sku":"2522","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2522-1.webp?v=1779902825","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-bogie-passenger-wagon-stock-code-2522","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
