I found two different brands of ball race, one with a steel cage and one with a Brass cage both I would presume are wartime. Although I consider the plain bearings historically significant they are all too badly worn to use in anger. Well they could be used but the wheel would rock a little so I will replace all with ball races. I have cleaned up one plain bearing to keep out of interest and the rest will go for scrap during the week. Does anyone have any spare spacers and seal assemblies? I am hoping the Loyd range wrecks will yield some small spare items for the bogie builds.
