Line boring a bogie for armature bearings

[modkiddyParticipant @modkiddy]

Hi guys,

Not strictly a RC Car, Boat or Plane.

This a bogie for a 00 gauge loco, its bogie has a double shaft armature with bronze end bearings which control the end float as well as the running.

Want to line bore the bogie carrying the bronze square bearings each end to 3/16” dia to fit FR133zz bearings.

Any ideas of a method to do this ?. Looked at modifying a drill from 3/16” down to 3/32” as the shaft size and back drill the bogie.

At that size I think a 3/16 reamer would do the job if you can set the bogie up nice and square on the drill press or lathe.
