Hello all, I have just acquired a Heljan 47 which to my eye is looking a little bare under the buffer beams. I have been looking at photos of real 47`s and I cannot find any which clearly show a cross member to the bogie. Can any 47 fans, point me in the right direction, so that I can put matters right, thanks.

Hi David,
Brian Daniels had an extensive range of reference photos here:

Also, if it helps, here are the class 47 bogies I built for my DJH kit.

The David Parkins Class 47 Bogie upgrade kits for the Heljan Class 47 work very well
