Hi Robert,
your idea got me thinking, {Probably not a good idea for an ancient ret'd teach... } anyway, it occurs to me that it might be possible to secure chain into the holes you drilled, which might improve the look of the links. I remembered that various items can be fixed to the scenery with a thin wire passed through the end and then twisted to form a bracket{?} which can then be secured. Perhaps it might improve the look of the connectors if chain ends had a thin wire passed through the end links, bent and the ends twisted together, so they could be inserted into the holes you drilled in the bogies.

Thanks for the comments.

Julian, it sounds as though we were in the same game before retirement.

I think so, am I right in thinking you might have taught Maths? My lot was PE and Maths, main, with ICT by default later, I even managed to teach some pupils occasionally {Grief, that's so old, it probably goes back to Socrates }.

[QUOTE} Julian, I've only just seen your reply.

Yes, I was a mathematics teacher with a bit of Physics in the my earlier years. I put this information on my profile page when I first joined this forum but it seems to have disappeared now.

I used to enjoy taking classes of PE, to let them discover ways that would provide exercise in ways that they would enjoy whatever their own style. However, nothing can beat watching their faces, when they see the plain logic steps to Maths and ICT solutions, to something that was previously unfathomable and see the growth in their confidence to deal with the world as a consequence. That is such a privilege to be able to share.

Good to know. The next time some knowlessman comes along proposing ideas that conflict with empirically proven science we can apply the boot in stereo.

..... perhaps more of a Triprod...
