This is the original gate stock trailer bogie used under the LER stocks originally built for the Bakerloo, Hampstead and Piccadilly Lines in 1906–07. The design seems very flimsy but it lasted the 25-year life of the stock in passenger service and survived another 20 years under some cars used as engineer’s vehicles. It must have given quite a harsh ride with such small springs. Note the large castings (in dark grey) added to carry the brake hangers. There seems to have been some sort of swing bolster but it was in a very tight space. STUART HARRIS/AUTHOR
