No prob.

Just copy and paste the bit I've outlined in red.

Rod, I've edited your post to add the CC licence info from the Thingiverse page, which we ask people to do with thses links, to avoid any pirating as happened with my platform front. To add the picture, you first need to download it from Thingiverse and save it to your phone/computer. Then upload it...

Trevor, just re-reading this thread and I notice that the fella in the boat is wearing a top hat. Is that an MH Asset or is it clothing item you've made yourself? I've looked before for things like that and never found any>

Thirded! That is very impressive for a first attempt, looking forward to what you get up to once you are fully up to speed!

It's an intriguing idea.

Rik

It certainly is intriguing as you say. Not cheap of course and much as I'd love to be able to play with one, I can't see me splashing out 400quid plus, atm!

I think a bit more research is in order Well, I think many, if not most, on here would suggest that you look seriously at the Deltang range. Designed for trains not aircraft or boats, with the potential for controlling up to 12 models from one Tx and with a wide range of Rx outputs giving the poten...

Heart breaking Greg, but looking on the bright side, I'm sure that more than once in the past you have thought, "I wish I'd done this or that" . Now you will be able to.

Yes, the open wagon is North Staffs I'm sure. That is definately the N.S Knot in the centre. The 'NSR' branding is a bit unusual, it was normally just 'N S' I thought but I'm no expert and it may be period dependant, I'd guess.

So the transporter being L&M seems most likely.

The farm tractor in the background is a smaller scale but used here to create a sense of distance. This is a photo from my archives so if anyone has any objections to me using it then please let me know and I'll replcace it. The perspective works well Andy, I wouldn't have realised if you hadn't sa...

Most impressive!

In sketchup the inspector identifies surface issues including "nested objects" which are the armrests which just impinge on the backrest. Trevor, Are you using the Sketchup "Intersect faces with model/selection" command? It's in both the Edit drop down and right click mouse. I c...

I am both amazed and in awe of how flat the sides look. You should be proud of that achievement if nothing else!

I have had problems with rivets falling off. I thought I had got around it by dropping them below the surface - so I was sure they intersected the surface. Perhaps a better way is to use a guide line to encourage them to sit on the surface. I've been doing a bit of investigating myself. When I impo...

Looks fabulous. I hope you have good muscles, if not you soon will have, shifting that lot in and out of exhibitions!

100mm at 10:1 = 10.00 ie 100/10 100mm at 22.5:1 = 4.44 ie 100/22.5 100mm at 19.05: = 5.25 ie 100/19.05 22.5/19.05 = 1.18 ( conversion factor) so 1.18 x 4.44 ( dimension from 22.5 drawing) = 5.24 which should be close enough to 5.25 for your purposes as long as you use the same conversion factor thro...

Work in Progress- WHR Garratt Just come across this, he only uploaded yesterday ( 9th April) and appears to have only drawn one end so far, but it looks pretty good. Worth keeping an eye on. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4822107?collect License Work in Progress- WHR Garratt by Nathan_Ray is lice...

Thanks Simon, very impressive. I have looked at OpenSCAD in the past and I'm afraid that you've just confirmed what I thought, you need to enjoy computer programming to bother with it! I'm sure it is a whiz if/when you can learn it and I have seen some really superb models produced with it, but rath...

Just out of curiosity, I put one of the original tank sides on to print before I went to bed last night. It has printed pretty well, although there seems to have been some sort of shift half way up. It's pretty subtle and I don't think I can photograph it. However all the rivets seem to be stuck tig...

I believe they were often kept in a lineside shed equiped with a miniature turntable to put them onto a siding. Yes, the turntable was a standard fitting although I can't make out where/how they carried it. I'm just about to start on the small body fittings etc and in looking at various photos I th...
