<\/div>\n
The tune “Colonel Bogey” had acquired some less than endearing lyrics concerning the reproductive ability of certain leaders of the Third Reich. But the word bogey<\/span> or bogie<\/span> has a multiplicity of meanings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At its simplest, from northern dialects, it meant a four wheel trolley<\/span> played with or ridden on by a child.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In golf it is a score of one over par<\/span> for a particular hole.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The much feared bogey man<\/span> was a threat; leading to RAF-speak bogey<\/span> for an enemy aircraft.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then part dried mucus<\/span> from the nose was a source of ribaldry in the classroom.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As an alternative name for a cannabis cigarette<\/span> it may be derived from Bogey<\/span> himself. Humphrey Bogatt was often pictured with a cigarette dangling from his lips!\n

But for railway men and women it was the means of carrying more passengers at less cost.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Early railway passenger vehicles were horse-drawn carriages on rails.\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

They became more railway-like but retained some of their historic features.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Note the seats “up top” where your postilion could, indeed, be struck by lightning!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Some four wheel coaches were very well appointed as this from the Isle of Wight Steam Railway.\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

The central compartment was for the toffs, the end two for the snivelling minions thereof.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
As demand increased, so did the length of coaches. There was a move to six wheel coaches.\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

But any longer and they wouldn’t go round the corners!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Then around the year 1900 someone had the bright idea of making the vehicle much longer and mounting it on two little trolleys just like the bairns played with – but a bit bigger.\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Railway carriages could then become more comfortable and more luxurious as with this directors’ saloon.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

All because of the kiddies “bogie” trolley.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
But there is\u00a0 problem with OO gauge six wheelers. How do they get round the much sharper corners of an OO layout?<\/div>\n
