Center Plate

This is the bearing plate between the car body and the Bogey, it is two plates, a male plate on the car body and the female ether on or part of the  bogey bolster. This allows the bogey to turn with the track and transfer the forces to or from the powered wheels.

Making it is just a cylinder the diameter of the bolster and should go from the bogey bolster up past the body bolster so you can have a "fudge factor".

This is the first non-animated part I usually make. Remember all parts that are not animated must be "linked" to the b.r.base or b.r.main.
