RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted February 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2023 Good timing with coming back to 3D printing. FK3D have designed a GER 8ft Bogie and LNER 1st/3rd corridor seats - And arrived today from Bill Bedford is some battery boxes to suit his Mousa 51ft underframe For someone who was VERY sceptical about 3D printed parts I seem to have been thoroughly converted... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JamesSpooner Posted February 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2023 I agree that the 3D printing process has progressed a lot over the last few years but I think it is still difficult to achieve the same results as is possible with etched brass. A couple of years ago I made two Gresley ‘shorties’, one a brake third, using Bill Bedford sides, MJT underframe, roof, ends etc and some Hornby Gresley bogies, regauged to EM. So, a real ‘bitser’ but fun to make. Nigel 16 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodcock29 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) 12 hours ago, Tony Wright said: Alan gave me a 'scrap' 3D-print for an LNER refrigerated van. Which I sort of made-good (with limitations). Tony - its interesting to see this LNER Refrigerator Van. I've recently commissioned a 3D printed LNER Refrigerator Van from a person in Tasmania. I have seen some of her work on GWR vehicles and I thought I'd see what she can do. I have six in the post on the way to me at the moment. I originally scratchbuilt one over 40 years ago - as seen here. Please ignore the couplings , they've been replaced! However, as I'm now putting together a train comprising meat and perishables vans I thought 3D was the way to go. They will be in a kit form rather than one piece prints. I'm intending on fitting w/m buffers, vac and steam pipes, brass ladders and brake levers. The model you have appears to have wooden solebars so is a bit of a hybrid according to the info in Tatlow Vol 4A. An initial batch were built in 1923 with timber underframes to Dia 20 (these had two ice hatches at each end), followed by Dia 21 (single hatch at each end) with steel underframes from 1924 to 1931. I might actually build one of mine with a timber underframe as a Dia 20.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Tony Wright Posted February 12, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 Mo and I have not long returned from a quite splendid weekend at The Festival of British Railway Modelling at Doncaster Racecourse. From sales of donations, donations themselves and donations made after I'd fixed locos, we've brought back over £230.00 for Cancer Research UK! Anyone who believes that folk in Yorkshire are parsimonious, then think again. That's the most we've ever made at any show from donations, so, many thanks to Doncastrians and their friends/visitors for their generosity. We also raised many hundreds of pounds from sales of models on behalf of distressed/bereaved families. My most grateful thanks to those who bought the models. We started with a groaning table-full of them, and left with just three. Not bad. In between demonstrating and fixing things, I managed to take pictures of Weaver Hill for BRM. A rather jolly depiction in OO of latter-day WCML operations............ 38 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
