Looks like Chrome is the culprit. I've just accessed the thread with Firefox on my tablet and the images are there. I wonder why Chrome is blocking them?

That's what I get on my Android tablet but on my Windows 10 laptop I can see the images with no problem. I'm using Chrome on the tablet and Firefox on the laptop. Maybe that's the issue??

Wow! That level of detail is really impressive. I don't think it's achievable with TinkerCAD and my £80 printer somehow ......

It was just a little project for me, I will still be doing the metal chassis once I get back in the shed

I can't see any pictures either .......

There's hope for us all, yet.......

Every so often, I get an email from AliExpress listing bargain offers and price reductions. How can I possibly resist the massive saving on this TV remote ......?

Thanks chaps. I'm veering more towards pre-preservation days. The faded edges to the photo suggest it's a bit older than the 50s or 60s

Rik

Many thanks Rik, that is most helpful. I am aware of the Yatton kit, which looks to be good quality from the image on his site. I have no experience of Yatton kits, so at £60.00 plus the £12.00 postage cost, puts me off taking the chance. Yes, must admit I've always been wary of the £12 postage cha...

I've always slightly over engineered my models even before 3D printing. I reckon they need to be more robust to account for the heavy handling they get on my railway and to withstand the occasional plummet!

I couldn't see any prices mentioned on Flickr. Is there a price list and are any of his kits available in 45mm gauge?

Rik

Nicely planted, Tony. You've certainly made the most of the available space.

Rik

Interesting. I suppose printing the sides vertically works well as the striations give the impression of woodgrain. I wouldn't have dared to try printing the body in such an orientation on my old printer, but I could give it a try on my new one.

Hi Peter Not found any plans but the principal dimensions mentioned in Keith Turner's and SC Jenkins's books on the L&M were Gauge : 2' 6" Length : 19' 6" Overall width: 8' 0" Rigid wheelbase of each bogie: 4' 3" Distance between bogie centres: 9' 0" Wheel diameter: 1' 9...

That looks good Rik. Can't say I've ever heard of your elephants foot before and as far as I know I haven't suffered from it ( my shoes still seem to fit OK! :lol: )! I've printed several of these with no probs. How have you got the detail on the inside of the wagon? Did you print the wagon body as...

Just in case you need it too ....

My latest project has been to replicate the open wagons which I constructed from my own resin castings. I was interested in how a 3D printed version might compare. The originals used Hartland Loco Works mini-series wagon chassis which, at the time, could be picked up for less than £10 each. They hav...

Very smart, Greg. Something which rarely seems to be covered in posts is general maintenance, but it's something we all have to engage in constantly. Maybe you've started a trend?

I've just spent two and a half days doing nothing but shunting trucks and Pass. stock around Leawarra yard. Two engines in steam, amazing how long gas and water last cut right back. Engines also look good just sitting in the sun with a wisp of steam at the safety. Only time an engine left the yard ...

The potential build volume is 300 X 300 X 400
The heating element covers the whole area, so it might be feasible to print to the edges. My cheapo printer only years the middle of the bed.
