In the right orientation, they can be used to hold the side frames rigidly to the middle bit. a 1&#215;1 brick with Technic Hole (in the middle) supports an axle, which has a stop at one end that is a friction-fit in the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wis.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0713-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wis.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0713-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wis.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMG_0713-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Deconstruction of 16mm inside-frame bogie out of LEGO parts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The deconstructed view shows the brackets in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exact build has another problem: the axles rub against the tan-coloured end bricks. The easy solution would be to make the side frames 10-studs long instead of 8. There might be another solution &#8230; so watch this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Justin &#8211; February 2019<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my last post, I berated the fact that a inside-frame chassis on 16mm track wasn&#8217;t possible in Lego.
