I can see why this fits bags but not charges Oldred.
To charge a glass or a weapon is to load it.
10a: OIKIST = early colonial

old = O, edinburgh coffin = KIST, one = I

Thanks for all your help so far. 7d is now ( - O - I - ). Any ideas?
bogie fits the helping to support rail travel but at the moment can't see how it fits rest of clue.
bogie - assembly of wheels (which revolve)
Of course, I was looking far too deeply. Playing about with parts of the word backwards (revolutionary) and anagrams (assembly).
Can't always see what is in front of your eyes!!!
