Re: Here's the land for the future railroad
Certainly a nice, big blank canvas to work with. You have my envy.

Re: What filler?
I like automotive filler primer. I've found "Spray putty" tends to be a slightly thicker filler primer, and for the same money it's better for smoothing printed parts. If you're any good with a spray can, it's fast, easy to apply and a can will do 2-3 average-sized loco kits. I like to eit...

Re: Gmeinder & Co loco
Well, so far it's had an initial grey primer spray, 2 coats of acrylic black spray, a coat of black acrylic brushed on, and another coat of grey primer on top! Egg on my face, then! :lol: Perhaps a sliver of aluminium foil could be positioned in the 1mm slot, above the LED, with tweezers? It's thin...

Re: Simplex Yard Shunter
12/03/24 A Deltang Rx63 receiver was removed from another loco and fitted to the Simplex, using some very small connectors. Surprisingly, (even out of sight 6 meters away) the whitemetal bonnet doesn't seem to affect the signal. The receiver (and bonnet) are held in place with blu-tac. https://i.pos...

Off-topic, but there's something very satisfying about how the track is laid out in that last photo.

Re: The Railway in the Valley of the Mill
Individually pinning each chair into place would take longer, but from what you've said, it would give the required accuracy.
I don't know the first thing about 3D printing, but I would've thought you'd be getting perfectly consistent chairs out of it.

Re: Time to build a railway...but where?
Tidy with lots of character.
Boot Lane does some nice kits, this'll be good to watch as always.
