BR mk1 bogies.

Riveted or non riveted? Which was in use in the mid 70s and 80s?

IIRC some stock pressed into use for main line specials etc in 1979 had leaf sprung BR1 bogies, the condition of which caused some distress to C&W Examiners at the time. I think BR1s were riveted at least in part, but others will know much more.

BR1 could be welded or rivetted. They weren't the best bogies...

By "BR Mk1 bogies" do you mean the bogies used on BR Mk I stock, or the BR1 bogie?

 

[Rescars]

Various types of bogies were fitted to Mark 1 stock. In latter years most refreshment vehicles had welded Commonwealth bogies for example.

I do indeed mean the BR1. It's for a Coopercraft kit I'm rebuilding. You get a choice of the riveted or non riveted variety and some of the parts are minute.
