The 8581 bogie was used under all passenger carriages from 1910 up to 1930 when it was replaced as the default mainline passenger bogie by the Watson bogie. The 4 spring variant was used under mainline stock and the 3 spring variant was used under suburban stock. After 1930 it was still used under suburban passenger stock (3 spring variant) until the first 5M2 sets were imported from the UK. They were also used under 3rd class passenger stock up to and including the imported steel bodied H-16 and H-24 (Four spring variant)

It was also used under express freight wagons like fish wagons and reefers (4 spring variant), as well as freight guards vans (3 spring variant)

Highly detailed and full relief, our bogies are the most accurate on the market today within the limitations of scale.

Supplied as a pair, complete with wheels and mounting screws, they are unpainted so the modeller can choose the correct colour to match their model and period.
