01 · The challenge
A depot needed replacement bogie brackets for a fleet built in the 1980s. The original drawings were lost and the maker no longer existed.
02 · Our approach
We measured worn parts, drew new models, had them approved and built a fixture so every bracket would match.
03 · The result
120 brackets were delivered and fitted without modification. The drawings and fixture are kept for the next order.
“They brought a forty-year-old part back to life.”
