ATM Y25 bogies
ATM one-piece bogies offer smooth running and feature the standard British coupler and pivot.
They can be bought pre-assembled, unassembled with wheels or as mouldings only, for those who wish to replace poor-running
kit bogies. They're also a valuable aid to scratchbuilders. |

Gloucester GPS bogie conversion kit
We have developed a brass etch that allows modellers to convert
our own Y25 bogies into the Gloucester GPS 22.5 types used for Warwells and some other wagons.

Above ATM GPS bogie conversions fitted a Parkwood Warwell. The model is loaded
with a Dragon "Can-Do" Warrior. The support cradle (used because the vehicles have to be kept at a certain height to
stay within gauge) is scratchbuilt. The other vehicles are a Parkwood Warflat fitted with ATM Y25 bogies and carrying
a PG models "Samaritan" armoured ambulance, while a CJM Class 66 is waiting to take charge of the train!
Below Close up of ATM GPS bogie conversions on two Warwells. These wagons are fitted
with Microtrains knuckle couplers mounted directly on the wagons body, which allows the distinctive end jacks to be retained.

The picture below shows a completed and painted bogie, and an unpainted
version to show how it is done. The etched brass overlay simply glues onto the existing frame to recreate the appearance
of the distinctive Gloucester 22.5 bogie.

Which Bogie do I need?
The list shows some of the wagons our bogies can be used for. Please
note that some of the suggestions are good approximations - for example the N Gauge Society Seacow should have Y27
type
Fabricated frame:
N-Gauge Society BDA and Polybulk
TPM Nuclear flask wagon
ISM BAA, BBA, BLA IHA steel wagons & Warflat
Cast frame:
N-Gauge Society Seacow (slightly modified) & RMC cement hopper
(coming soon)
TPM tippler
ISM KIA steel wagon, PCA tank wagon and PXA scrap wagon
Gloucester GPS 22:
Parkwood Warflat & Warwell
Farish 100t tanker (representing GPS 25)
Various steel & mineral wagons
These are some examples - there are other wagons that these bogies can be used for. If you are
unsure which bogies you need just email us and we'll advise!
ATM UltraRoller wheelsets
ATM UltraRoller wheelsets feature fine profile blackened wheels.
What makes them different is the back-to-back measurement. Instead of the usual British N back-to-back of
7.2mm, ours are widened out to 7.54mm. This is the US NMRA (North American Model Railroad
Association) standard, and we have found wheels set to this standard offer improved performance on Peco Code 55 track.
